Built for Your Channel
Built for the Way Convenience Stores Actually Sell
Tobacco is one of the highest-frequency categories in a convenience store. Your customers are loyal to specific brands, they buy on impulse at the counter, and they expect the same products on the shelf every time they come in. A vendor who runs out, ships late, or carries half the catalog costs you trips and basket size.
Phillips & King has supplied independent retailers with cigars, tobacco, and accessories for over a century. We carry the machine-made cigars and cigarillos that drive volume, the premium handmade brands your cigar customers ask for, and the lighters and accessories that round out the counter. One account covers the full tobacco set.

Compliance
50-State Tax Compliance, Handled
Every state has its own rules for tobacco taxes, PACT Act reporting, and licensing. Getting it wrong puts your retail license at risk. Phillips & King is licensed to ship tobacco products into all 50 states and we handle the excise tax filings, PACT Act reporting, and shipping documentation as part of every order.
You provide your retail tobacco license at account setup. We take care of the rest, including state-specific tax stamps and reporting requirements, so your shipments arrive ready to sell and your books stay clean.
