Why PK California
Built for the Way Smoke Shops Buy
You move a wide mix in small quantities and you need to know your cost before it hits the shelf.
One Price, Tax Included
California tobacco tax is already built into the price you see. Set your shelf price and check your margin without running the math on every line.
Stocked in California
Inventory sits in state and ships to licensed California shops, so you are not waiting on cross country freight to refill a fast mover.
Cigars Worth Shelf Space
Premium and everyday cigars your regulars already know, from singles to boxes, so you can carry depth without tying up cash.
What You Can Stock
Know the Rules Before You Buy
Premium Cigars
Cigars that meet all five statutory criteria for premium are exempt from the California flavored tobacco restrictions and do not need to appear on the Unflavored Tobacco List.
The test covers more than price. The cigar must be handmade, wrapped in whole tobacco leaf, capped by hand, at least twelve dollars wholesale, and free of any filter or tip.
Everything Else Gets Checked
Little cigars and cigarillos do not qualify for the premium exemption. They are covered products and must appear on the list by brand style and UPC.
Check each item at utl.doj.ca.gov before you build a facing. Non-listed product is subject to seizure, and the penalties land on you rather than your supplier.
Local ordinances can be stricter than state law, and some jurisdictions do not recognize the premium cigar exemption at all. Check your city and county rules before you stock.
