Cigar Payments is a tobacco merchant account and processing service started by people who came out of the cigar business and got tired of being treated like a risk instead of a customer.
Most processors see the word “tobacco” and reach for a one-size-fits-all program: a high flat rate, vague terms, and an account that can be closed with a form letter. We set up credit card processing for cigar lounges, shops, manufacturers, and distributors with the industry in mind from the first conversation, so your account is built for what you actually sell.
Why pay a flat rate with inflated Amex pricing when only a fraction of your sales are on Amex?
Instead of a package, you get a pricing structure you can follow line by line, built around your card mix and the way you take payment. Send us a recent statement and we will show you, line by line, what you are paying now and what a cigar-specific program would change.
Alongside processing, we set up the tools that make a cigar business run smoother: POS systems for the counter and the lounge, invoicing and ACH for wholesale, and B2B tools for distributors.
