In respect of cigars, and handmade cigars in particular, the reality is in fact the exact opposite of what the comment suggests. This is evidenced by IRI retail sales data. Handmade cigar sales are in fact declining year on year, and furthermore—as has long been the case—young adults find them difficult to afford and difficult to access. Further impact assessments would help to fill in the gaps in the evidence and analysis of the complex and varied OTP sector.
