Cheyenne Cigars Launches 'Take Flight' Sweepstakes: $1,000 Airline Gift Card Up for Grabs
Cheyenne International, the North Carolina-based manufacturer of Cheyenne filtered cigars, opened a new consumer sweepstakes on September 15, 2026. The "Take Flight" promotion runs through October 20 and awards one winner a $1,000 airline gift card. It is the brand's latest push to keep adult smokers engaged with its loyalty website, and it lands the same week the company sponsored CSP's Tobacco Plus Forum in Oak Brook, Illinois.
For adult tobacco consumers 21 and older. Sweepstakes details below come from the official rules; eligibility varies by state.
What the Official Rules Say
According to the rules posted on the Cheyenne Cigars website, the entry window opened at 9:00 a.m. Eastern on September 15, 2026, and closes at 11:59 p.m. Eastern on October 20, 2026. Entrants can submit one entry per day, for a maximum of 36 entries over the period.
The key terms, as published by the sponsor:
- Prize: One $1,000 airline gift card, with an approximate retail value of $1,000. That is the entire prize pool, so there is a single winner.
- How to enter: Through the promotion page on cheyennecigars.com, or by email to getmore@cheyennecigars.com. No purchase is necessary.
- Who can enter: Members of the Cheyenne Cigars website who are legal U.S. residents and at least 21 years old. Residents of California, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Virginia are excluded, as are company employees and their households.
- Drawing and notification: A random drawing is scheduled around October 27, with the potential winner notified by email by November 3, 2026. The winner has five days to respond or forfeits the prize.
- Odds: The rules state that odds depend on the total number of eligible entries received.
The sponsor of record is Cheyenne International, LLC, located at 701 S. Battleground Avenue in Grover, North Carolina.
Who Cheyenne Is
Cheyenne International was founded in 2002 and describes its mission as offering adult consumers value-priced cigarettes, cigars, moist snuff, and pipe tobacco. Its cigar portfolio includes Cheyenne, Derringer, and Body Shot. The company also makes Cheyenne-branded cigarettes and pipe tobacco, and it listed as a sponsor of the CSP Tobacco Plus Forum held September 16 through 18, 2026.
The filtered cigars are machine-made in Grover, North Carolina. Retail specifications put the standard stick at roughly 3 7/8 inches with a 20 ring gauge and a Colorado Claro wrapper, sold in packs of 20 and cartons of 10 packs. The lineup runs from Full Flavor, Classic, Menthol, and Extreme Menthol to flavored options such as Vanilla, Wild Cherry, Grape, Peach, Strawberry, Xotic Berry, Tropical, Sweet Tip, and Sweet Mint.
What It Means for Shoppers
The sweepstakes does not require buying anything, so the practical step for interested adults is simply to register an account on the Cheyenne Cigars site (which requires age verification) and enter once a day. Because the drawing is not until late October and the notification deadline is November 3, entrants should keep an eye on the email address they registered with.
For A2Z Tobacco customers, the promotion is a reminder that Cheyenne remains one of the most widely stocked American filtered cigar lines.
A2Z carries 13 Cheyenne styles by the carton of 10 packs of 20 in our Cheyenne Filtered Cigars collection. A few caveats are worth stating plainly: Four states are excluded from the sweepstakes, so residents there cannot enter regardless of membership status. Flavored filtered cigars are also restricted or banned in some states and cities, so availability of specific Cheyenne styles depends on where you live. Finally, a giveaway does not change the nature of the product: filtered cigars are combustible tobacco, and nicotine is addictive.
The Bottom Line
Cheyenne is using a modest, no-purchase sweepstakes to build its direct relationship with adult consumers while the mass-market cigar category faces volume declines and a growing patchwork of flavor rules. If you are 21 or older, live in an eligible state, and already smoke Cheyenne, entering costs nothing but a daily click before October 20.
