Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure

Cigar Deals Online is a free price comparison, scoring, and deal tracking service. We do not sell cigars, charge subscription fees, or sell user data.

To support the infrastructure, daily scraper crawlers, and development costs required to operate the site, we participate in affiliate marketing programs. When you click outbound links on our site (such as “Buy at [Store]” or “View Deal”) and make a purchase, we may receive a referral commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.

Our commercial relationships have zero impact on our algorithmic pricing comparisons, rankings, or ratings:

• Price Sorting: The price comparison table is strictly sorted by price per cigar (PPC). The store with the lowest genuine price always occupies the top spot, whether they pay us an affiliate commission or nothing at all.
• Unmonetized Stores: Several of the retailers we crawl and compare have no affiliate relationship with us. They appear with equal prominence whenever their price is lowest.
• CigarScore Integrity: CigarScore is computed objectively from calibrated critic reviews and verified smoker ratings. No manufacturer or retailer can pay to adjust or elevate any score.
• No Paid Placements: We do not accept payment to feature specific cigars, promote false discounts, or alter search rankings.

We partner with leading affiliate networks and direct merchant programs, including:

• Amazon Associates: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases on accessories, humidors, cutters, and lighters.
• Affiliate Networks: CJ Affiliate, Impact, Awin, Ascend, and Sovrn Commerce (VigLink).
• Direct Merchant Programs: Select verified online cigar retailers.
