price increases

Some new ways to experience ATL Cigar Co.’s portfolio are coming to stores this summer.

If your favorite Tatuaje comes from Miami, it will get a bit more expensive this summer.

While the prices for most of the company’s products will increase, the Four Kicks Capa Especial and Le Pâtissier lines are not affected by this change.

Fuerte y Libre says that its manufacturing costs have increased by more than 15 percent over the last four years.

Depending on the line, the increases range between 7-9 percent.

Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s two American premium cigar companies announced price increases for their large portfolios of brands. The timing of the announcement appears to have caught many retailers off guard.

The company cited notable increases in material and packaging costs as one of the reasons it is raising prices.

The increase will apply to several lines, but not all of the company’s cigars are being affected.

The change in prices will go into effect March 1.

It’s an increase of 3 to 5 percent across the Flor de Selva, Cumpay and Villa Zamorano lines.

The company cites increasing costs in numerous areas as the reason for the increase.
