Cuban cigars are coveted in Japan. Their pricing depends on rarity, brand, and vitola, although the price can range from 20€ (approx. 3.475 ¥) per cigar to 80€ (approx. 13.900 ¥) . At Mr Cigar Shop, expect access to authentic Cuban brands like Cohiba, Montecristo, and Hoyo de Monterrey. Some standard Cuban cigars may lie within mid-premium range, while limited editions or Reserva lines may command significantly higher prices.

Importantly, we verify all Cuban cigars we ship to Japan with certification and provenance.

Importing tobacco products, including cigars, in Japan is regulated carefully:

• A Specified Distributor registration is required for those importing cigars for resale under Japan’s tobacco laws.
• For personal use imports by individuals, shipments that exceed the tax-free allowance (50 cigars or 250 grams of tobacco) are subject to customs duty, tobacco excise, consumption tax, and possibly other fees.
• The Japanese customs system uses the CIF basis (Cost, Insurance, Freight), meaning import duties and taxes are computed on the total value including shipping.
• When shipping by parcel, if the declared value is ¥10,000 or less, general customs duty and consumption tax may be exempt; however, tobacco excise tax and special tobacco taxes still apply.

At Mr Cigar Shop, we ensure every cigar is shipped with proper documentation, discreet packaging, and full compliance.

Our shipping rates depend on weight and courier. As a general guideline, we apply a flat shipping fee of €50 (¥8.690) for smaller orders to Japan. For larger orders, we offer free shipping beyond €500 (¥86.900).

Yes, while many shipments pass without issue, there is always a possibility that customs will inspect, delay, hold, or ask for documentation. If detained, customs may assess taxes/excise or require additional paperwork. Nonetheless, we try to mitigate these risks.

If any hold or request occurs, we support you throughout the resolution process.

Cigars are fragile and can be harmed. That is why we carefully inspect each cigar before packing. Every box is placed inside a sealed bag with a 72% Boveda humidity vault, while individual cigars are wrapped in protective material to safeguard the head and foot. This ensures your cigars arrive in Japan in optimal smoking condition.
