All About Cuban Cigars in India

We can’t proclaim that Cuban cigars are the world’s finest Cigars, even though there is a lot of hype about Cuban cigars and it’s every cigar smoker’s dream to try one someday. Having said that there is a huge demand for Cuban Cigars but seldom supply meets the demand. A Genuine Cuban cigar is expensive and is hard to find in many countries, especially United States where 90% of Cuban Cigars that are sold is counterfeit. In most cases there are counterfeit Cuban cigars that are sold in India, but do not worry Cigars in our portfolio are 100% Authentic and are stored in specific conditions that keep the cigars fresh and rightly humidified.

Cuban Cigar Price in India

Although Cuban cigars were already expensive because of low availability and counterfeit cigars available in the market, in 2022 Habanos further increased the price of their cigars making them very expensive. The taxes levied on Cigars while importing to India add up to an already expensive product.

The price of Cuban cigars in India starts from ₹1,000 to as much as ₹40,000 per stick. Notably, the Cohiba Behike 54 is one of the most sought-after and expensive Cuban cigars, retailing at ₹40,000 per stick.

But we do not guarantee that it could be a genuine one.
