How do you become a licensed cigar/tobacco retailer?

Question

I would like to add cigars and tobacco to my online store, but I am getting the run around on how to do it. Any suggestions or experience out there to help guide me?

Answer 1

I would try getting in touch with/join the IPCPR.  They may be able to give you the information

Answer 2

Finding wholesalers will be easy, but you will run into issues with the merchant account to process tobacco products. I helped develop and ecommerce cigar site before and we went through alot of red tape and still wasn't happy with the results.
