A cookie identifies you while you are visiting cigarcountry.com and keeps track of items in your shopping cart between visits.

Data Security
The protection of your privacy and personal information is a major priority at Cigar Country. We utilize “best in its class” systems and procedures to safeguard against unauthorized access to information collected online and to ensure that it is used appropriately.
Cigar Country uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you provide during transmission. This industry-standard encrypts all your information including credit card numbers so that it cannot be read during its exchange over the internet. In addition, we recommend protecting unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Sign off and close all browsers whenever using a shared computer.
Age Verification
We do not sell our products to anyone under the age of 21. We use a third-party company, Veratad Technologies, LLC, to verify that you are who you say you are and to confirm that you are 21 or older.
A small percentage of shoppers may not be verifiable due to the limited availability of publicly available information in the age verification databases. If this happens, we will attempt to contact you via phone and email to verify your age. We typically require a copy of your driver’s license, passport, or some other form of government-issued ID that verifies your date of birth.
