Manufacturers and retailers are becoming more pessimistic about the performance of the cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco category over the next five years. Until recently, these products had been spared from the impacts of taxation compared to cigarettes, but this trend is expected to change.
Since 2023, products in the cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco category have faced an unusual increase in taxes, which is expected to continue in the following years to narrow the price gap with cigarettes and align with cancer prevention plans for 2023-2025. Furthermore, the revision of TPD3 by 2025 may introduce limitations or higher taxes on flavoured pipe tobacco, potentially impacting products like chicha/shisha.
Sales of both cigars and cigarillos are expected to decline significantly in the forecast period. Hand-made Cuban cigars may become too expensive for many consumers due to shortages and competition from other countries (Spain is the favourite source country for imports).
