Disclaimer
Cigar Primer is general, educational information for adults 21 and older. It is not medical, legal or financial advice, and it does not sell or promote tobacco.
An adult audience only
The site is written for adults of legal smoking age, which is 21 in the United States under federal law. If you are under 21, please leave the site.
Cigars carry real health risks
Cigar smoking is not a safe alternative to cigarettes. The National Cancer Institute reports that it causes cancers of the oral cavity, larynx, esophagus and lung. Nothing on Cigar Primer is health advice. Talk to a doctor about your own health. Free help to quit is available at 1-800-QUIT-NOW.
Calculators give estimates
Every tool shows the assumptions it uses. Real cigars, humidors and rooms vary, so treat results as a starting point. We accept no responsibility for loss or damage to cigars, humidors or anything else based on a result.
Laws are reported, not interpreted
Where a page mentions a rule, such as TSA guidance on lighters, it quotes and links the official source. That is not legal advice. Rules change and vary by place, so check the source yourself.
The publisher behind these pages
Cigar Primer is published by After Action Cigars, a company that sells cigars. Nothing is sold on this site. No cigar maker, brand or distributor pays for, reviews or approves what we publish. Brand names and trademarks belong to their owners and appear only to identify the products discussed. Brand guides report published facts; they are not reviews or ratings.
Accuracy and corrections
We check facts against the sources listed on each page, but information can go out of date. If you find an error, email hello@cigarprimer.com and we will correct it.
