PROSPECTS

Increased tourism pushes demand for cigars

Cigar consumption continues to grow, largely due to tourism. The country saw a record number of arrivals in 2018, with further growth anticipated over the forecast period.

Growing interest in cigarillos as cigarette smokers look for new tastes and flavours

Cigarillos is enjoying fast-growing popularity, especially as more cigarette smokers trade-up in search of a richer taste. Strong economic growth has elevated discretionary incomes and encouraged a search for more innovative and higher-quality options.

Widening product availability through non-grocery specialists in particular

The number of non-grocery specialists, such as specialist tobacco shops, cigar lounges and boutiques and gift shops, has expanded in the country. These establishments are primarily found in the large tourist enclaves, such as Punta Cana and Bávaro.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

La Aurora continues to top cigars, with a focus on regular new product launches

La Aurora remained the clear leader in the category in 2018. The company attracts a broad customer base by catering to both local consumers and tourists.

Many small local players present in traditional areas of the country

Overall, the category is quite fragmented, with “others” still accounting for the single-highest retail volume share in 2018. “Others” incorporates many small players across a wide range of price points.

Investment in domestic production to lead to more artisanal cigar offerings

Over the forecast period, small- and medium-sized artisanal cigar producers in and around Tamboril are set to add dynamism to the category. In early 2019, President Medina visited a large producers’ association in the area and pledged DOP45 million to assist their businesses and production for the domestic and export markets.
