price increases

The company attributed the need to implement the increase to rising costs in several aspects of the cigar making process. The company’s portfolio includes the non-Cuban versions of Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann and Trinidad, among many others.

A total of 16 cigars will be going up in price as of Jan. 1. The cited reason? Increased tobacco costs.

The two lines are getting new “dancing shoes” the company said in posts on social media. As part of the update, the two lines are also getting three new vitolas that stemmed from retailer requests.

Most of the time, a price change means higher prices, but this time it means lower prices. Depending on the size, the price has been reduced either $3 or $4 per cigar.

The increases affect many popular lines, including Cohiba, Macanudo, La Gloria Cubana, Alec Bradley and Room101. The increases go into effect tomorrow and will raise the prices anywhere from a couple of dimes to a couple of dollars.

Altezas Reales 1871 is a relatively new brand from a member of the Cifuentes family that once owned the Partagás brand. The debut line is made at El Titan de Bronze in Miami.

The price reductions take effect today.

Next month, the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990, 1992 and 1999 will be going down in price.

Half of the company’s portfolio will see the increase, which is driven by rising costs to produce the company’s products.

The increase applies to all but one line in the company’s portfolio.

The company says around half of its products will not be increasing in price.
