2013-03-09 18:21:57 - New Consumer Goods market report from Euromonitor International: "Cigars in the United Kingdom"

Like all tobacco products, cigars faced higher taxation towards the end of the review period. The March 2011 budget added 10p to a pack of five small cigars, with cigars also seeing higher VAT introduced at the start of the year. These tax increases also had a higher impact on cigar smokers due to ongoing economic uncertainty and higher VAT across the board, with many smokers thus facing eroded disposable income levels.
