To be honest, I don't think smoking bans have nearly as much impact on cigars as cigarettes. In recent decades, cigars had become unwelcome in many restaurants and bars that allowed cigarette smoking. Also, don't forget the number of premium cigars sold is tiny compared to cigarettes. Cigar Cyclopedia reported yesterday that in 2006 the U.S. imported about 311 million premium cigars (a drop from the previous year). Compare that to U.S. annual cigarette sales of roughly 375 billion. I think the popularity of cigars is actually rather simple: it is incredibly enjoyable, relaxing and relatively inexpensive.

Bye bye Baltimore…pretty soon MD won't need a State wide ban since every locallity here is banning smoking on their own.

Which brings me to this question to the Stogie Guys…with tobacco taxes at an all time high and increasingly more and more bans are being enacted, whats responsible for the growth?

What's even more impressive is that cigar sales are steadily climbing in the face of intrusive smoking bans.

This shows that "health" advocates' argument that bans discourage smoking does not hold water. That point was further proven in Thomas Lambert's "The Case Against Smoking Bans" from Cato's Regulation magazine.

Great website, by the way!
