When it comes to buying cigars, U.S. adults are among the biggest spenders. Americans of age to buy tobacco spend around $36 per year on cigars, only topped by the Lebanese who spent almost $37 per capita last year on the vice. Other high rollers who like to spend big on expensive cigars are Qataris, Luxembourgers, Icelanders, the Swiss and the Brits – likely aided by the fact that these countries all have high price levels and/or high taxes on tobacco.
This chart shows the per capita revenue from cigars in selected countries in 2022 (in U.S. dollars).
