Product information

How do I know if the products are genuine?

We are committed to supplying only authentic, high-quality products. All our cigars come directly from the brands' official importers. For Cuban cigars, each box is secured with official authentication seals. To check the authenticity of your Cuban cigars, please visit our dedicated page: https://cigarpassion.ch/tracabilite-et-garantie/.

I would like to reserve a product.

We do not offer a reservation service for our products. However, we invite you to contact us directly by telephone. We'll be happy to discuss a solution tailored to your specific needs and assist you with your purchase.

How do you store cigars?

We take the storage of our cigars very seriously, to ensure that the factors essential to their preservation and quality are maintained. Our cigars are stored in a controlled environment where humidity and temperature are strictly regulated. We use state-of-the-art humidifiers and hygrometers, periodically checked by specialized external bodies, to maintain an ideal relative humidity level between 70% and 73% and a constant temperature of around 16°C to 18°C. All these facilities ensure that each cigar retains its aroma and quality until it reaches your hands.

I found similar products on another site and they are much cheaper than you.

The prices of our cigars are set by the importers and adapted to the destination market. In Switzerland, importers set a public price, which corresponds to the recommended retail price. Price variations between different countries can be explained by differences in tobacco taxation. Be cautious: prices that are significantly lower than usual may suggest a counterfeit product. We advise you to buy only from reliable sources to guarantee the authenticity of your cigars.

I received a notification that a product was back in stock, but the site says otherwise.

This notification is generated automatically by our system when the product is back in stock in our warehouse, having passed all the necessary checks. However, depending on the product, demand can be particularly high, and it is possible that the product will be out of stock again very quickly. We recommend you to be reactive to have a chance to order a box.

Orders & Payments

I'm not sure if the redirection page for entering my payment information is secure.

To protect your data, all our payment pages use the HTTPS protocol, indicated by "https://" at the beginning of the URL in your browser's address bar. This protocol guarantees that the information you enter is secure and encrypted.

I'm getting an error message during the payment process.

Please take a screenshot of the error message and contact our customer service department for assistance.

In what currencies can I pay for my order?

You can pay for your orders in Euros (EUR) or Swiss Francs (CHF).

Why is my order status "Cancelled", even though my credit card has been charged?

This scenario may occur when there is a communication problem between the payment system and our website. This may result in your card being debited without the order being validated on our side. We invite you to prepare a statement showing the debit in question and contact our customer service department.

I have chosen bank transfer as the payment method for my order. When will it be processed?

Your order will be processed as soon as we have received the funds in our bank account. It is important to reference your order number when transferring funds to facilitate tracking and avoid delays. Please note that if the funds are not received within 5 working days, the system will automatically cancel your order.

The deliveryman came while I was away. How do I get my parcel back?

If you were not available to receive your parcel, it will usually be dropped off at the nearest post office. You can use the tracking number sent to you to check the precise location of your parcel. We recommend that you contact the post office using this number for detailed instructions on how to collect your parcel. They will usually hold the parcel for a limited period, allowing you to collect it at your convenience.

I think my package was lost in transit.

If you suspect that your parcel has been lost in transit, we recommend that you contact the carrier responsible for delivery directly to obtain detailed information on the current condition of your parcel. Once you have gathered all the necessary information, please contact our customer service department. We will then be able to guide you through the next steps and help you resolve the problem.

Returns and refunds

How will I be reimbursed?

All refunds will be made using the same method of payment used to validate the order. For example, if you paid by credit card, the amount will be credited to that same card.

How long does it take to receive a refund?

We usually process refunds within 2 to 3 working days of your request being approved. After that, bank processing times may vary. In general, it can take between 5 and 10 additional working days for the amount to appear in your account, depending on your bank or card issuer.

The products I ordered are not to my liking. Can I return them?

We understand that cigar selection is a matter of personal taste, and we strive to provide detailed descriptions to help you make your choice. However, due to the nature of cigars, we cannot accept returns or exchanges for reasons of taste.

I have received my ordered products but all the cigar boxes are no longer sealed. Is this normal?

Yes, of course. The products come from the official Habanos importer for the Swiss market, Intertabak AG, who affix their control labels after opening the boxes once.

How do I know if the product I've chosen is in stock?

We treat every order with the utmost care to ensure that your cigars arrive in perfect condition.

Every order undergoes rigorous quality control by our logistics team to ensure that products meet our high standards.

We recommend that you check this folder.

The list of countries to which we ship is regularly updated according to various logistical and political factors. If you cannot find your country in the drop-down list when entering your shipping address, it means that we no longer or not yet offer this service for that destination. Please check back periodically, as our shipping options may expand to new countries in the future.

Delivery is free within Switzerland. For all other destinations, shipping costs are determined according to the destination country and the number of items ordered. Specific costs for each destination will be clearly indicated when you finalize your order.

I want to pay extra to receive my order faster.

We do not currently offer an express delivery service due to logistical and administrative constraints. We prefer to avoid disappointment due to potential delays.

Which carrier do you use?

As a general rule, we ship orders via Swiss Post, with countersignature to guarantee secure, traceable delivery. For specific destinations, we forward your order to an external logistics company, which selects the most suitable carrier according to the region.
