Shipping Restrictions
Understanding state-specific tobacco shipping regulations
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.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions to these restrictions as they are based on state law.
