Tobacconist University
Get Certified - CCST

DEMO: Retail School

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE CIGARS TO SELL THEM - JUST RESPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS' TASTE.

The CCST degree is for people in the hospitality industry, so unlike our Certified Retail Tobacconists (CRT), we recognize that all CCST may not enjoy the pleasure of cigars. Regardless, that should not stop us from being educated and giving the best service possible. The reason we sell cigars is to enhance our customers' experiences and to increase revenue. To that end, the training and education you receive through TU will help ensure success.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE

Cigars are age restricted products and there are local, state, and federal laws and regulations which must be followed to maintain compliance. While your management will should ensure that the products you buy and sell are legal, every employee must make sure they verify the age of every customer. The FDA requires carding all patrons under the age of 27. And your store must have signage declaring this policy. If you do not have signage, use this TU WE ID sign. [Login to see more]

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY

Cigars must be kept at 70% relative humidity (RH) and 70°F. The humidity will preserve the essential oils which contain and convey the flavor (taste+aroma) of the tobaccos, while the cool temperature will keep microscopic larvae (Tobacco Beetles) from hatching and destroying the cigars. Proper temperature and humidity must be maintained at all times so tobacconists must be constantly vigilant of these factors. Check temperature and humidity morning, noon, and night.

Tobacconist Tip
#425
Originally, the Cuban Cohiba brand was touted as undergoing a third fermentation, at lower than usual temperatures. In reality, the third fermentation may just be a form of anejamiento.
