    they are refusing to honor illegal sales. vendors that certify age ,etc should be fine. Mainly aimed at cigarettes. (oh yeah, this story is five years old).

    I haven't run into this issue. Granted, I only order from CCOM, and sometimes an online hookah vendor. Mine and my mom's cards are both backed by Mastercard, and there's never been an issue.

    I only shop at ccom with both of my MC's and I've never had a problem.
