What types of cigars are available for purchase online in Thailand?
In Thailand, you can technically order cigars from virtually any origin—Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras, etc. However, whether they can actually be delivered to you depends heavily on Thai customs and licensing. Many cigar shops in Thailand already import legitimate, taxed stock to the market.
Because the Tobacco Products Control Act of 2017 and related tobacco legislation in Thailand requires strict packaging, health warnings, and product registration, only cigars imported through legal channels with appropriate approvals typically make it through customs.
Thus, while the selection in theory is broad, successful delivery depends on your seller’s diligence in regulatory compliance.

What are the regulations for importing cigars into Thailand?
Importing cigars into Thailand is regulated by both customs law and tobacco control laws under the Tobacco Products Control Act of 2017. Key regulatory points include:
A company importing tobacco products must file the required forms (e.g. Yor Sor 01-06 in some cases) with the Excise Department.
- Imported cigars must comply with Thai labeling and health warning standards, including the mandated graphic warning displays.
- Products that lack proper import certification, labeling, or licensing may be refused, confiscated, or returned.
- In 2021, the Thai cabinet passed a resolution to reduce import duty on alcohol and cigars by 50% for five years to help stimulate tourism and consumption.
Because the regulations are complex and strictly enforced, only sellers with the right import experience and documentation, such as ourselves, are able to reliably deliver cigars to Thailand.
Our shipping method ensures safe delivery to Thailand
We use trusted international couriers (such as DHL, FedEx, UPS) with customs clearance experience in Thailand. In every shipment we:
- Prepare and attach all required documentation (commercial invoice, import permit, etc.).
- Label packages discreetly to reduce attention from customs.
- Use tracking and monitoring to follow the package’s progress.
- Where possible, prepay duties/clearance fees so the parcel doesn’t get left in limbo at customs.
- Send you the tracking number and expected arrival date so you can monitor it yourself.
This approach optimizes the chance your cigars arrive quickly and without complications.
What is the cost of shipping cigars to Thailand?
Shipping costs for cigars to Thailand depend on weight, origin country, shipping speed, and any customs brokerage fees. If you order €500 (฿18.900) or more, with Mr Cigar Shop there is free shipping, otherwise there is a flat rate of €50 (฿1.890). Our mailing service is express and can take up to 5 days.
Can a cigar shipment be held by Thailand customs?
Yes, shipments of cigars can and are frequently held or rejected by Thai customs if they lack compliant documentation, labeling, or proper packaging. In many cases, customs will require you to pay back taxes, or have it returned.
We mitigate this by using discreet, compliant shipping and preparing all required documents ahead of transit.
Other countries of Southeast Asia which we ship online
Besides Thailand, we ship to many other countries of the Southeast Asia, always adhering to local import and tobacco regulations. Whether you live elsewhere in Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Philippines,India or beyond, we ensure compliance so aficionados everywhere can enjoy premium cigars reliably.
Can cigars get damaged while being shipped?
Cigars are delicate and can be damaged easily. To reduce risks:
- We inspect every cigar before packaging.
- Each cigar box is sealed inside a humidity-protected bag along with a Boveda 72 % or 69 % humidity pack (or equivalent) to buffer humidity swings.
- The entire package is packed in an outer sturdy box with shock absorption, and in some cases thermal insulation to moderate temperature extremes.
These protections dramatically reduce damage risk, even in long-distance international shipping.
