Honduras Sees 3% Decline in Premium Large Cigar Imports in 2024

Premium large cigar imports from Honduras fell to 67.4 million units in 2024 — a 3.3% drop from the prior year, down by 2.3 million cigars.

Though the year-end decline is less steep than earlier in 2024, Honduras continues a gradual downward trend in premium shipments to the U.S.

CAA tracks these country-level movements to help members understand evolving sourcing patterns and market dynamics.

Dominican Republic Holds Steady in Premium Large Cigar Exports to the U.S.

In 2024, premium cigar imports from the Dominican Republic totaled 106 million units — a slight 1.8% decline from 2023’s 107.9 million.

This modest drop may reflect a late-year shift in imports toward more mass-market products under alternate HTS codes, while premium demand cooled slightly.�Still, the Dominican Republic remains a key pillar of the U.S. premium cigar supply chain.�
