Fabricas Unidas—the distribution company led by Christian Eiroa that is responsible for Asylum, CLE, EH Cigars, Herichera, Pura Soul and Wynwood—is joining the growing list of companies to raise prices in 2014. Eiroa told halfwheel that all cigars will see a 20 cent increase on the retail pricing except for the Asylum Schizo and Herichera and Pura Soul brands, the two most recent additions to the portfolio.
The new pricing goes into effect February 1.
