Can you promote in r/cigar?
Fraternity among BOTL and SOTL.
The short answer
Participate as a community member, answer questions and offer expertise; if mentioning your company/product do so sparingly for transparency (no solicitation or direct sales links) and prefer mod-approved venues.
What works here
- answer questions and engage in conversation
- share cigar-related photos, culture, and events
- be transparent about affiliation if relevant (no promotion)
What gets posts removed
- posting ads, sales, trade or gift offers
- using the subreddit to find customers or DM solicitation
- making posts that primarily promote a product or include direct purchase links
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo buying/selling/trading/gifting
The rules explicitly ban buying, selling, trading, or gifting cigars or paraphernalia and using the sub to find others to do so; violations lead to bans.
Allowed community content
The subreddit encourages conversation, sharing events, and cigar-related photography/culture — suitable for non-promotional engagement.
Curated vendor links exist
A 'Trusted websites to purchase cigars' list is maintained (mods can be messaged to add), indicating purchases are handled via curated resources rather than open self-promotion.
Posting restrictions
Account age and karma limits apply, so new accounts and overt promotional accounts may be restricted.
