Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 12/10/2014 --Cigar use in New Zealand is typically by cigar aficionados or used as a celebratory device. Accordingly, cigars are considered to be more of a premium product. Cigar smokers tend to be older men with moderate to high disposable incomes, who usually have humidors and other cigar accessories to ensure they get the most from their cigar smoking experience. Many New Zealand people consider quality to be the major influence over the cigar-purchasing decision. Conversely, cigarillos are consumed more frequently and often represent a substitute for cigarettes. Cigarillos carry lower unit prices than cigars, but are typically more expensive than cigarettes.

Industry Prospects

During the forecast period, overall volume sales of cigars are expected to decline at a CAGR of -1%, in contrast to the 1% retail volume CAGR recorded in cigars in New Zealand over the review period. Whilst this may suggest that demand for cigars is set to begin suffering from the recently imposed retail display ban and higher unit prices as a result of excise tax increases towards the end of the review period, this may also be evident of a growing propensity for consumers to purchase their cigars from overseas websites due to their offering a greater range and better pricing.
