Sometimes I even feel that the quality of cigars is not completely consistent. Some years will be better, and some years will be worse, although the difference is subtle.

Affected by tobacco production
One of the most important reasons is that the output and quality of tobacco leaves will affect the production of cigars every year. Cuba, in particular, often has to cope with storms.
Any kind of daily consumer goods with crops as raw materials, such as wine, coffee, cigars, etc., will be influenced by nature to some extent.
Affected by climatic factors
The annual harvest of crops may vary greatly. It is not surprising that there will be a bumper harvest this year and a poor harvest next year.
The worst storm Cuba experienced in recent years was in 2008, when Cuba was hit by three major hurricanes.
Among them, two hurricanes hit pinar del rio province, which had an impact on local tobacco production: a large number of local tobacco processing infrastructure was seriously damaged, including thousands of drying and baking rooms, and pinar del rio province alone lost 5,000 baking rooms.
Fortunately, since most of the tobacco leaves have been harvested, the government quickly took action to help tobacco farmers move them to a safe place, and most of the tobacco leaves were preserved.
The output of tobacco leaves in that season only decreased by 2 million pounds (1 pound, about 0.45 kg), which was about 5% of the average annual output of tobacco leaves in Cuba in previous years.
But this influence lasted for the next few years, because many big-name cigars did not use the tobacco leaves of that year to produce cigars of that year, but kept the tobacco leaves for several years before rolling them.
Therefore, three storms in 2008 affected the price of Cuban cigars in the following years.
This is an example. The influence of natural environment on the price of Cuban cigars is not only that year, but also for a long time.
The biggest factor is the relationship between supply and demand.
The output of cigars, especially big-name cigars of high-quality origin, is actually relatively stable. No matter how advanced technology is, the output of land is always limited. This determines that the supply of excellent cigars can only grow slowly and tend to be stable.
However, the demand for cigars is increasing year by year. Take China as an example. The first batch of people who smoked cigars in China were foreigners, and then the gift givers began to buy cigars as gifts. Later, people began to smoke cigars themselves.
At first, it was conspicuous consumption, and then there was real personal consumption. Although there is still a long way to go, there are more and more people. In the future, the price of good cigars in the market can only rise in fluctuations, and it is difficult to fall.
