El Presidente Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 https://www.statista.com/chart/30111/per-capita-revenue-from-cigars-in-selected-countries/ Where the Most Money is Burned on Cigars When it comes to buying cigars, U.S. adults are among the biggest spenders. Americans of age to buy tobacco spend around $36 per year on cigars, only topped by the Lebanese who spent almost $37 per capita last year on the vice. Other high rollers who like to spend big on expensive cigars are Qataris, Luxembourgers, Icelanders, the Swiss and the Brits - likely aided by the fact that these countries all have high price levels and/or high taxes on tobacco. 2

targa88 Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 I always wonder/debate the interpretation of statistics. How many folks smoke versus a total population. Then the average price of cigars based on location. Notwithstanding the population of the US - there are certainly plenty of NC cigars that sell for considerably less than most CCs...

Does that pass the sniff test? 5

Do any other Americans feel the CDC's numbers are a bit high?

You might be right but everything I read is around the same % Overall, 4.5% of the U.S. population reported smoking cigars within the last 30 days in 2018. https://truthinitiative.org/research-resources/traditional-tobacco-products/cigars-facts-stats-and-regulations In 2019, 3.6% of U.S. adults (8.7 million) currently smoked cigars (Cornelius et al., 2020). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8683982/ https://www.cigarassociation.org/the-cigar-market/

I don't believe that statistic distinguishes between premium handmade cigars and cheap machine rolled sticks like Swischer Sweets. That kind of cigar is still a big seller, and it's not all for rolling blunts (loose blunt wrappers are everywhere now anyway).

I’ve got a few golf buddies that qualify based on this phrasing, yet never seem to spend a cent on cigars… Also the last 30 days of 2018 are basically a month-long holiday, so clearly everyone is smoking then…

But still it seems like 6% is a lot. That many urban wacky tabacky smokers? Also, something tells me 99% of the female cigar smokers are not smoking premiums.
MossybackR Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 The weekend golf cigar smokers adds up, but I have heard that there is also a large fraction of folks in the US that smoke non-premium, machine rolled cigars. Gas station and drug-store cigars.
