This week, Ashton increased prices for two of its lines. Effective Feb. 15, Ashton’s Small Cigars lines and Premium House Selection offerings have increased.

For Ashton Small Cigars and Ashton Small Cigars Connecticut, the price will increase approximately 6 percent, the new MSRPs are:

  • Ashton Small Cigars Cigarillos — $17.40 (Pack of 10)
  • Ashton Small Cigars Half Corona — $13.25 (Pack of 5) / $132.50 (Pack of 50)
  • Ashton Small Cigars Ashton Mini Cigarillos — $24.80 (Pack of 20)
  • Ashton Small Cigars Senoritas — $19 (Pack of 10) / $95 (Pack of 50)

Premium House Selection doesn’t have an MSRP as it is designed to be used as a house cigar for a retailer. It is increasing 10-15 cents per cigar.

Ashton says the increases are “due to a rise in the cost of manufacturing.”
