Why Cuban Cigars are so expensive?

Описание: Is the "Golden Age" of the Cuban cigar over? 🇨🇺💨

In this video, we pull back the curtain on the exploding costs of the world’s most famous tobacco. If you’ve walked into a humidor lately, you’ve seen the sticker shock: boxes that used to cost $500 are now retailing for $2,000+. But why?

We break down the three "margin" factors driving this surge:

The "Hong Kong Standard": How Habanos S.A. officially pinned global prices to the ultra-expensive Hong Kong market to turn Cohiba into a "Veblen Good."

The China Factor: Why the world’s largest emerging luxury market is buying up the entire supply, leaving shelves empty in the West.

Climate & Crisis: The devastating impact of Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Oscar on the Pinar del Río region, and why production can’t keep up with demand.

Whether you're a collector or just curious about the economics of scarcity, this is the reality of the Cuban cigar market in 2025.
