Age Verification and Tobacco Disclaimer


Last updated: [July 22, 2026]

Bistro Cigars is a retailer of premium cigars. At Bistro Cigars, we do not sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21.

Bistro Cigars does not sell cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vaping products, vape devices, e-liquids, or vape products of any kind.

It is unlawful to purchase cigars below the applicable minimum legal age.

You Must Be 21 or Older

You must be at least 21 years old to access purchasing features on the Bistro Cigars website, create a customer account, place an order, or receive tobacco products.

By entering this website or placing an order with Bistro Cigars, you represent and confirm that:

  • You are at least 21 years old.

  • You are legally permitted to purchase and possess premium cigars.

  • All age, identity, billing, and shipping information you provide is accurate.

  • You are purchasing cigars for yourself or another legally eligible adult.

  • You are not purchasing cigars for anyone under the age of 21.

  • You will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local tobacco laws.

If you are under the age of 21, you must not access purchasing features, create an account, submit an order, or attempt to purchase cigars from Bistro Cigars.

Age and Identity Verification

Bistro Cigars may use third-party age-verification and identity-verification services to determine whether a customer is legally eligible to purchase tobacco products.

Information used for verification may include:

  • Full legal name

  • Date of birth

  • Billing address

  • Shipping address

  • Telephone number

  • Email address

  • Government-issued identification

  • Other information reasonably required to confirm age and identity

If automated verification cannot confirm your age, we may request a clear copy or image of a valid government-issued photo ID.

Submitting an order does not guarantee acceptance. Bistro Cigars may delay, refuse, or cancel an order when:

  • The customer’s age cannot be verified.

  • The information provided is incomplete or inaccurate.

  • Identification appears altered, expired, fraudulent, or invalid.

  • Billing, shipping, and identity information do not match.

  • Unauthorized use of another person’s identity is suspected.

  • The transaction or delivery is prohibited by applicable law.

  • Fraudulent or unlawful activity is suspected.

No Purchases for Minors

You may not purchase cigars for, transfer cigars to, or otherwise provide cigars to anyone under the age of 21.

You may not:

  • Allow a person under 21 to use your customer account.

  • Use another person’s identification without authorization.

  • Provide false age or identity information.

  • Accept delivery on behalf of an underage purchaser.

  • Resell, transfer, or furnish cigars to a person under 21.

  • Attempt to bypass our age-verification procedures.

Orders and accounts associated with age misrepresentation, identity misuse, fraud, or unlawful activity may be canceled, restricted, or permanently suspended.

Bistro Cigars may report suspected unlawful activity to payment providers, delivery carriers, age-verification providers, or appropriate authorities when required or permitted by law.

Adult Signature at Delivery

An adult signature may be required when cigars are delivered.

The person accepting the package may be required to:

  • Be at least 21 years old.

  • Present a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID.

  • Sign for the package in person.

  • Match the recipient information associated with the order.

Age-restricted packages may not be left unattended when an adult signature is required.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that an eligible adult is available to accept the delivery. Failed delivery because an eligible adult is unavailable or cannot provide acceptable identification does not automatically qualify the order for a refund.

Local Laws and Shipping Restrictions

Tobacco laws and delivery requirements vary by state, county, city, municipality, and other jurisdiction.

Bistro Cigars reserves the right to refuse, restrict, hold, or cancel any order that cannot legally be sold, shipped, or delivered.

Premium cigars are intended only for legally eligible adults.

Keep cigars, cutters, lighters, matches, humidification products, and other cigar accessories away from children and pets.
