Affiliate disclosure

Cut & Smoke earns commissions through affiliate links on some pages. It currently takes part in four programs: the Amazon Associates Program, the Refined Traditions affiliate program, which runs through GoAffPro, and the 1st Class Humidors and Gotham Cigars affiliate programs, which run through Awin. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

How these links work:

• Cut & Smoke does not sell anything itself. Any purchase happens on the retailer’s site, under its own terms.
• Any page containing affiliate links says so near the top, before the first link.
• A short line in the footer of every page says the same, and affiliate links are marked in the page code as sponsored.
• Gotham Cigars sells cigars, and some links go to cigar samplers. Cigars are for adults 21 and over, and the store sets its own age checks and shipping limits.
• A commission doesn’t change what a story says about a product. Buying guides do focus on stores that pay this site, and they say so.

Other programs may follow, including retailers that sell cigars, humidors, gear, glassware or coffee equipment. This page will name each one before its links are enabled.

Charles McQuain also owns and operates BourbonProof.com, which earns affiliate commissions of its own. Stories here say so when they mention it.
