PROSPECTS

Small market size due to high unit prices making cigar smoking beyond the reach of most

The category remains very small in terms of retail volume and value sales. Smoking tobacco is negligible, while cigars and cigarillos have limited demand and distribution.

Growing appeal among wealthy younger adults

Consumers of cigars and cigarillos can be divided in two types: older adults, who prefer high-quality products, mostly imported from Cuba; and younger adults, who are open to novelties. However, both types belong to high socioeconomic groups.

Local brands make their mark

The increase in local production has created a wider offer of domestic brands/products, although the category is expected to remain niche and characterised by low distribution over the forecast period. The best-known local brand is Aray & Sons (Aray Cigars), but Alfaro and Inti-Ñan are also gaining attention.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Corporación Habanos enjoys the trust of consumers

Corporación Habanos continued to dominate cigars and cigarillos in 2018. The company’s exclusive local distributor, Vegas del Caribe, operates a chain of outlets under the La Casa del Habano franchise.

Consumers prefer specialist retailers for their advice and guidance

Tobacco specialists continued to dominate the distribution of cigars and cigarillos in Ecuador, although local products are sold in some bars and small pubs in cities. Consumers prefer to buy these products from specialist retailers, which offer a wide range of brands under one roof.

More informal market for Cuban cigars

Many importers reduced their portfolios, as domestically-produced mid-priced and economy brands gained ground. As a result, the leading local player, Aray Cigars, returned to positive retail volume sales growth towards the end of the review period, while newer local producers Puros-Habanos y Cigarros and Cangrejo Producciones gained shares.
