By accessing thewarwagon.com or any of our online services (the “Service”), creating an account, placing an order, or using our mobile lounge booking forms, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. You also represent that you are at least twenty-one (21) years of age. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Who we are
In plain English:War Wagon Cigar Lounge, LLC - a Texas LLC operating a cigar lounge in Orange, TX, a mobile lounge that travels Southeast Texas, and an online store and subscription service.
The Service is operated by War Wagon Cigar Lounge, LLC(“War Wagon,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Texas limited liability company formed in 2023.
Our storefront and lounge address is:
War Wagon Cigar Lounge
8480 Hwy 87 N
Orange, TX 77632
You can reach us at info@thewarwagon.com or by phone at 409-223-7252.
Your account
In plain English:Accounts are for people 21 or older. Keep your password secure. Tell us if anything is wrong with your account.
To create an account you must be at least twenty-one (21) years old and provide accurate, current information. You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for everything that happens under your account.
Tell us at info@thewarwagon.com right away if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. You remain responsible for activity under your account until we have a reasonable opportunity to act on your notice.
We may suspend or close your account at any time for any reason, including violations of these Terms or applicable law. You may close your account at any time by emailing us.
Tobacco products & age verification
In plain English:Federal and Texas law restrict tobacco sales to people 21 or older. We verify age before any order containing tobacco. We will not sell to anyone we cannot confirm is 21+.
All cigars and other tobacco products sold on the Service are restricted to buyers who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age. You represent that you meet that requirement and that you are not purchasing on behalf of anyone who does not.
Before we accept any order containing tobacco products, we electronically verify your age and identity through AgeChecker.Net, our third-party age-verification provider. AgeChecker.Net cross- references the information you provide against public records to confirm you are at least twenty-one (21). If the electronic verification fails or cannot be completed, we will cancel the order and refund any charge.
Tobacco shipments are sent via United States Postal Service with the USPS Adult Signature Restricted service (Service 921), which requires an adult 21 or older to sign for the package at delivery. The carrier will not release the package to anyone under 21 or leave it without a signature.
Buying tobacco products for anyone under 21 is illegal and is grounds for immediate account closure and reporting to law enforcement.
Pricing, orders, and errors
In plain English:We try to be accurate on prices and stock but mistakes happen. We can refuse or cancel any order. Your order is an offer, our acceptance is the charge.
Prices on the Service are in U.S. dollars and may change without notice. We strive to keep product descriptions, prices, and inventory accurate, but we do not warrant that information on the Service is free of errors. We may correct typographical errors and reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order, including orders accepted in error or with incorrect pricing.
Your placement of an order is an offer to buy at the listed price. Our acceptance of the order occurs only when payment is successfully processed. If we charge your payment method and then discover an error, our sole obligation is to issue a full refund.
Sales tax is added where required by state and local law, including on Operatives membership fees and Nomad subscription charges.
Operatives membership
In plain English:Operatives is the War Wagon membership program. Five tiers, each with different benefits at the lounge or shipped to your door. Benefits are personal to you and not transferable.
Operatives is the War Wagon Cigar Lounge membership program. We currently offer five tiers:
All membership fees are listed before sales tax. Texas sales tax is added to your monthly charge.
- Reserve ($10 / month, in-lounge): early access to new cigar releases, invitations to Operative-only events, and the member rate on house perks.
- Covert ($50 / month, in-lounge): all Reserve benefits plus a 10% discount on products, a free cigar cutter on signup, and a Cigar of the Month.
- Keystone ($75 / month, in-lounge): all Covert benefits plus a 15% discount, a free cigar lighter on signup, and a VIP punch card with redeemable visit rewards.
- Nomad ($50 / month, subscription): a monthly mystery box of cigars, swag, and accessories shipped to your door or held for pickup at the Orange lounge. Detailed terms in Section 7.
- Business($250 / month, 3-month minimum commitment, then month-to-month): two named business members on one business account, one assigned member locker, in-lounge ad space on War Wagon partner screens, priority access to sponsorship opportunities, free admission for named members to ticketed War Wagon events, 10% off products including alcohol, preferred pricing on mobile lounge bookings and private in- lounge gatherings, and preferred group cigar pricing for client appreciation nights, team outings, and business events. Membership benefits apply to the named users and business account only and are not company-wide. Ad creative must be supplied by the business in the required format and runs in War Wagon's standard ad rotation. Sponsorship opportunities are based on availability and fit. Discounts and preferred pricing cannot be combined with other promotions unless specifically approved.
Tiers, prices, and specific benefits are described in detail on the Operatives page. Membership benefits are personal to the member, are not transferable to anyone else, and have no cash value.
Entitlements: the free cutter (Covert) and free lighter (Keystone) are one-time-per-membership benefits that you redeem at the lounge. Our staff will mark each as redeemed in your account.
Reserve and ticketed events: Reserve membership does not include free admission to ticketed events. Operative- only events listed in your account are included with active membership at the eligible tier.
Program changes. We reserve the right to add, change, or discontinue specific benefits prospectively. If we make a material change that adversely affects a benefit you have already paid for in a given membership month, we will give you a reasonable choice between continuing under the new terms or canceling for a prorated refund of that month.
Sealed liquor at the lounge. War Wagon Cigar Lounge, LLC holds a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission BG-200154320 permit for the sale of beer, wine, and mead. We do not sell liquor. As a courtesy to members in good standing, we allow sealed-bottle liquor to be brought into the lounge as a BYOB house privilege, subject to all applicable Texas law and the lounge house rules. Sealed liquor cannot remain in the lounge overnight. We do not provide bottle service, sell liquor, or allow outside beer or wine.
Nomad subscription
In plain English:The Nomad mystery box is $50 a month. Shipping is included or you can pick up at the lounge. One click to cancel. Pause up to 90 days. $1 of every drop goes to Operation: Cigars for Warriors.
The Nomad subscription is a recurring monthly mystery box of cigars, swag, and accessories with a retail value of $50 to $75. The subscription price is $50 per month, charged automatically to the payment method you have on file. Shipping within states we serve is included; you may also choose to pick up your box at the Orange lounge at no additional charge.
Charity. $1 from every Nomad drop is donated to Operation: Cigars for Warriors. The running total is published on the Charity page.
Cancellation.You can cancel your Nomad subscription at any time from your account page in a single click. Cancellation takes effect immediately and prevents future monthly charges. If a monthly charge has already processed for the current cycle, that month's box still ships - the charge was for the box, not the month.
Pause. You can pause your subscription for up to ninety (90) days at a time from your account page. While paused, you are not charged and do not receive a box. You can resume at any time during the pause, and the next charge schedules from the resume date.
Skip a month.Within a single click in your account, you can skip the current month's drop without canceling or pausing the subscription. Skipped months are not charged.
Rate the drop. After each drop, you can rate the cigars in your account. We use your feedback to curate future drops.
Failed payments. If a recurring charge fails, we will email you and attempt the charge again. After multiple consecutive failures we will pause the subscription automatically. We will not ship a box for a cycle that was not paid.
Price changes. We will notify you by email at least thirty (30) days before any price change to a subscription you already have. You can cancel before the new price takes effect.
Gift subscriptions. Nomad is also available as a one-time prepaid gift subscription in three, six, or twelve- month lengths. Gift subscriptions are not recurring and do not auto-renew. The recipient must be at least 21 years old and will complete age verification at the time the first gift box is processed.
Nomad-tenure VIP. After six (6) consecutive paid months as a Nomad subscriber, you become a Nomad-tenure VIP. VIP perks include free shipping on shop orders, exclusive drops, and early access to new releases. VIP status persists for as long as you remain an active Nomad subscriber and is separate from the paid Keystone tier.
Loyalty points & referrals
In plain English:1 point per dollar spent on cigars and accessories. 100 points = $5 off. $10 / $10 referrals when your friend makes their first paid purchase. Points don't expire unless your account is closed.
Loyalty points - earn. You earn one (1) loyalty point for every one dollar ($1) spent on eligible product purchases. Eligible product purchases means the product subtotal of an order (or the in-lounge equivalent). The following are not eligible for points earning: sales tax, shipping, gift cards, donations, tips, refunded purchases, Operatives membership fees, Nomad subscription charges, and anything else we specifically exclude in the loyalty rules as published on the Service.
Loyalty points - redeem. Every one hundred (100) loyalty points redeems for five dollars ($5) off an eligible purchase. Eligible purchases include cigars, accessories, swag, and in-lounge alcohol purchases. Loyalty points may not be applied to sales tax, shipping, Operatives membership fees, Nomad subscription charges, gift cards, or donations.
Loyalty points - other terms. Loyalty points have no cash value outside the Service, may not be transferred to another account, and are not your property in any intellectual-property sense. We do not currently expire unused points; we may forfeit points held in an account that is closed, refunded against the underlying purchases, or that we reasonably determine has abused the program. We may adjust earn rates and redemption value prospectively and will give you reasonable notice in your account before changes take effect.
Referrals. When you refer a friend with your personal referral code and that friend completes their first paid purchase, both of you receive a ten-dollar ($10) credit toward future purchases. The credit to the friend is applied automatically at their first checkout. The credit to you posts to your account after their first paid purchase clears. We may close any account that abuses the referral program (creating fake accounts, self-referrals, etc.) and reverse credits issued through abuse.
Shipping

Where we ship. At launch we ship to Texas only. We are working through state-by-state research and licensing and will enable additional states on the Service as each clears.

How we ship. Our default tobacco carrier is the United States Postal Service using the USPS Adult Signature Restricted service (Service 921). We may use other carriers for non-tobacco accessories. Risk of loss and title to the products pass to you when our carrier takes possession of the package. We will help you file a carrier claim if a package is lost, stolen, or damaged in transit. Reach out at info@thewarwagon.com.
Order processing time. Standard processing is one to two (1 to 2) business days between order placement and handoff to the carrier. Orders placed on weekends and federal holidays begin processing the next business day.
Shipping rates. Shop orders are calculated at checkout based on order weight and destination. Shop orders with a product subtotal of one hundred and forty-nine dollars ($149) or more ship free within the continental United States via our standard carrier. The Nomad subscription includes shipping in its monthly price.
Pickup at the lounge. If you select pickup, your order is held at the Orange storefront for fourteen (14) days from the date we notify you that it is ready. Bring a photo ID at pickup. If your order is not picked up within the 14-day window, we will cancel it and charge a restocking fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the order subtotal before refunding the remainder. Contact us if you need an extension before the window expires.
Returns & refunds

The lounge
In plain English:When you are at the Orange lounge, the house rules apply. 21+, ID at the door, walk-ins welcome, no outside beer or wine, sealed-liquor BYOB is a house privilege for members. Private events - contact us directly.
The full lounge house rules are posted on the Visit page. By entering the lounge you agree to follow them.
Alcohol at the lounge. War Wagon Cigar Lounge, LLC holds a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission BG-200154320 permit for the sale of beer, wine, and mead. Sealed-bottle liquor brought in by members is a BYOB house privilege described in Section 6 and the house rules. We do not allow outside beer or wine.
Large groups & private events. Walk-ins, including groups, are welcome. Unless you have reserved the lounge in advance, large groups should not expect the lounge to themselves. For private events or lounge reservations, please contact us directly at info@thewarwagon.com or 409-223-7252 to arrange.
Refusal of service. We reserve the right to refuse service or remove anyone from the lounge for any reason consistent with applicable law, including violating the house rules, being intoxicated, or being a danger or nuisance to other guests or to staff.
Wholesale & partnerships
In plain English:If you're a retailer interested in carrying our brand or a partner interested in lounge or event sponsorship, our intake forms are how we start the conversation. We don't run wholesale checkout or automated ad-serving on the site.
We offer two business-to-business intake paths through the Service.
Wholesale. If you are a licensed tobacco retailer interested in carrying War Wagon-affiliated brands, you can submit a wholesale inquiry. We will follow up with pricing, credit terms, and a separate wholesale agreement. The Service does not currently offer wholesale checkout; orders submitted through the consumer shop at wholesale-pretending pricing will be canceled.
Partnerships. If you are interested in in-lounge advertising or sponsorship of a mobile-lounge event, you can submit a partnership inquiry. We will follow up with available slots, rates, and a separate partnership agreement. The Service does not provide automated ad-serving or impression billing - partnership inquiries are handled out-of-band.
Either inquiry path may be removed or its terms changed at any time.
