Analyst Opinion

Cigars (including cigarillos) constitute a niche segment within the Tobacco Products market which, in recent years, has nevertheless attracted significant attention as a potential growth driver. Just as craft beers or premium spirits, cigars might buck the general secular trend of declining alcohol and tobacco volumes sales at large as sophisticated consumers might consume less in total but could at the same time be willing to spend more on each individual occasion to maximize indulgence.
