Rise of cigar sales due to MJ (The last dance)

[Smokecigareveryday]

Jordan made everything fashionable and cool, from Nike to Gatorade.  I truly believe that there will be a rise in cigar sales globally after watching the Last Dance.  He was smoking Cubans left and right through out the documentary.

Estimated rate of unemployment at 20-25% coming up.  I'm pretty sure cigar sales are about to tank.

More cigars, less trouble for me! Can't wait to see more cigar aficionados around my area!

I can´t believe that people around the world are very interested of MJ. There are other things that are more important.

People are looking for distractions.

I haven’t watched it yet but it’s on my list. 

Thats kinda the whole point. To take a break from what’s going on. Normally people might catch a movie to escape reality for two hours. Here people get to watch one of the greatest to ever play. For some it might jog some memories of a simpler time in their childhood. For others it might be to find out about the guy that makes their shoes. We can’t watch the news all the time.

I only meant that  it´s hard to believe that one movie would have significant effect on global cigar sales like smokecigareveryday is saying. Thats all.

Good topic to debate!  To your point - MJ is still one of the most popular athletes in the world.  He is certainly the most marketable athlete in the world as proven by his current net worth of ~ $ 2.1Billion (Imagine that!).  Whatever Jordan touches or endorses still sells.  He also happens to smoke some of the most expensive CC's around including many "custom rolls".

On the other side: I'm sure Rob could weign in the best, but obviously, cigar sales softened as people hoarded cash and just stopped buying during this pandemic.  Cigars are a discretionary purchase.  My gut says pure economics outweighs any potential Jordan effect.  It is generally people with money, or just people that are passionate about good cigars that buy Cubans.  Also, people as a group, are resilient and return quickly to their old habits.  Those that still have a good job will quickly return to their old buying habits.  I think cigar sales will slowly return and we are already seeing prices begin to rise.  However, it will be a slow trend and we will still see some very "good deals" for some time to come.....

Sadly I have not been a basketball fan since Walt Frazier! Upon the constant urging of my brother in law I decided to watch. Hooked like a fish on a line I watched all 10 episodes and wish I did not miss all those games. The man was simply incredible.

In the finale of The Last Dance, Jordan was smoking a long skinny! That was definitely refreshing to me. I didn't try to find a pic, but I would guess it was a Fundadore? Does anyone else have a guess after seeing the episode?

A double Lancero.

I'm not sure if MJ is to blame or stimulus checks, but recent 24:24 sales seem to be stronger than ever.

I could definitely see more people picking up the habit.

For about 4 of the 5 weeks the documentary ran I haven't been smoking at all, so seeing Phil, Scottie, Jordan all sitting around smoking cigars (some that I recognized, some that I didn't) has given me an itch to smoke like no other!  This weekend I'll finally be back on it and will start with some smaller cigars just to get the nic tolerance up a little, then plan on smoking the longest CC I have in my collection. I don't know if the documentary will move the needle for sales right now, but I definitely think it will bring in new smokers still trying to "Be Like Mike".

Do you recall the effect Saturday Night Fever had on Disco and then Urban Cowboy turned everyone country 3 years later.....

It was on ESPN. Looks like you can stream it on their site.

I really enjoyed the series even as a non-basketball fan.

Alex ( Comodoro) double lanceros... the MJ23. He insist they be rolled only for him but oh well...need not say more.

interestingly , this is my very first post. Approved yesterday and guilty of being late to the party.

[El Presidente]

Celebrities smoking cigars would more likely have me turning off cigars for a few weeks.
