Stallone Cigars will increase the price of its toro vitolas by 5 percent while leaving the prices of the other vitolas in its lines unchanged.

The company says that the increase will be about 40 cents per cigar on average.

“This is in part due to increased manufacturing costs in Nicaragua,” said Todd Vance, North American vp of sales for the company, in a statement. “We resisted making changes on our other sizes and will absorb those costs.”

The company is relatively new to the American market, launching in the U.S. last August. Its cigars are produced at Tabacalera La Perla in Nicaragua.
