Why These Restrictions?

Each state has its own regulations regarding the sale and shipment of tobacco products. Some states have enacted laws that restrict or prohibit the direct-to-consumer shipment of cigars and other tobacco products.

These regulations are designed to:

  • Prevent sales to minors
  • Ensure proper tax collection
  • Regulate tobacco product distribution
  • Comply with state-specific tobacco control policies

As a responsible retailer, Gemstix is committed to complying with all federal, state, and local laws. We continuously monitor changes in legislation and update our shipping policies accordingly.

What If I Live in a Restricted State?

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions to these restrictions as they are based on state law.
