Title: CI now requires an ID for CA buyers
Post by: sweatsock on 02/17/2020 02:51 PM
Cigars International works tirelessly to provide you with the best possible cigar shopping experience. As you may be aware, your state's law regarding purchase and delivery of tobacco recently changed. Purchasers of tobacco products must be 21 years old or older, and the delivery of sales to any address requires signature upon delivery by someone 21 years old or older (Section 22963 of the Business and Professions Code). Our records indicate that we need to obtain a copy of your government issued ID so that your next purchase and all future purchases can process without delay. Don't worry, this will be easy...

You can provide this updated information by updating your account online:
1) Go to cigarsinternational.com
2) Login to your account.
3) From your account dashboard, in the Age Verification section, click on the link Verification Required
4) Follow the prompts to complete the Age Verification process, and upload your ID. This and other key steps are highlighted below:

This is coming to every state in the country...

I have to verify age with every Flatbed order for the shop...every. single. order.

I went  to their site to age verify and it showed that I already was. I never age verified there. I quit buying from cigar page when they asked for an ssn to age verify. The y later changed the policy. I've bought from CI for over 9 years so maybe existing customers are grandfathered at some level.

Well over 9 years....if you started at 10 years old, they figured that you were legal by now :)

 Not anymore.  The age is 21 now.
