Now Available: Cigars in the United Kingdom

The shift from cigars to cigarillos continued in 2013. Cigar smoking has been heavily hit since 2007, which saw the introduction of a smoking ban in public places, including restaurants and bars. As such, cigar smokers face the tough choice between smoking outdoors in the often far from ideal British weather or switching to alternatives such as cigarillos. The latter have increased in popularity since 2007 given the fact that they take less time to smoke and are easy to smoke outdoors. Cigar smoking is now limited to dedicated spaces including private cigar clubs and private homes.

Competitive Landscape

Henri Wintermans Cigars UK Ltd led the category in 2013 with a retail volume share of 28%. The company's leading brand Cafe Creme accounts for much of Henri Wintermans' sales in the UK. Cafe Creme is the leading brand in cigarillos, thus making the company the dominant player in that category with a 57% share of volume sales. In January 2014, Cafe Creme's packaging was revamped with a new design to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary.
