MasterCard will no longer support the sales of tobacco products online

Old news. This has been going on since about 2005. From what I recall, it's more about interstate cigarette purchases and their tax enforcement than anything else.

Can't honestly recall hearing of any time that it was enforced against a cigar order.

Well if thats the case, I have been making purchases all along with them. Thought this was something new. Maybe they just cracked down on this one retailer and more are to follow? Who knows

That's the point.

They don't enforce it. This one retailer probably just got the memo. Order away brother.

If they had cracked down, we'd have seen emails from the big guys (CI, JR, Holts, Famous, Schmompsons) already.
