Les Fines Lames Announces Price Increase
Les Fines Lames, the French cigar accessories maker, has announced that it will be implementing a price increase on three of its products next month.
The company’s signature item, the Le Petit cigar knife, will see increases between 3-7 percent depending on the specific model. This is the first increase for the Le Petit cigar knife since 2019.
DYAD and MONAD, Les Fines Lames’ concrete ashtrays, are increasing by 6 percent, while its cigar stand is increasing by 13 percent.
Three products will not see a price increase: the Punch Bracelet, the Le Tag T135, and the Le Tag T100.
“Covid-19, rapid transformation of the global supply chain, rising raw materials prices, highly volatile transport costs, geo-strategic instabilities in Europe and the Middle East, and our suppliers have increased their prices by an average of more than 16.3% over the period 2020-2024,” said the company in an email announcing the increase. “For these reasons and in order to maintain Les Fines Lames Made in France high standards, the enterprise need to fairly adjust the prices of half of its catalog.”
The increase goes into effect on May 15, 2024.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
