大多數(shù)人預(yù)估的進(jìn)口衰減始終沒有發(fā)生,，手工雪茄繼續(xù)涌入美國,。12月13日,，美國雪茄協(xié)會(huì)發(fā)布第三季度高檔雪茄進(jìn)口報(bào)告,，數(shù)據(jù)顯示，對比2023年第三季度，美國手工雪茄進(jìn)口量增長了3.8%,。
到今年第三季度,，美國進(jìn)口的手工優(yōu)質(zhì)雪茄數(shù)量超過3.14億支，去年同期是3.03億支,。這個(gè)數(shù)字令人印象深刻,。3億支是業(yè)界公認(rèn)的雪茄業(yè)務(wù)良好的年份基準(zhǔn)數(shù)字。
進(jìn)口雪茄主要來自三個(gè)國家,。尼加拉瓜仍然是雪茄行業(yè)的強(qiáng)國,，今年前九個(gè)月出口到美國的數(shù)量是1.865億支，同比增長2.8%,。
多米尼加共和國是第二大雪茄生產(chǎn)國,，出口到美國的手工雪茄是7740萬支，同比增長12.9%,。
洪都拉斯是第三大雪茄生產(chǎn)國,，今年前九個(gè)月出口到美國的手工雪茄是4830萬支雪茄，同比下降7%,。
值得一提的是雪茄生產(chǎn)新軍哥斯達(dá)黎加,，去年前三季度出口到美國的手工雪茄是81.1萬支,，今年前三季度增長到200萬支,。
去年美國全年進(jìn)口手工雪茄4.67億支，預(yù)估如果今年的進(jìn)口趨勢繼續(xù)保持,，美國2024年的雪茄進(jìn)口總量將達(dá)到4.8億支,。
Handmade, premium cigar imports continue to pour into America, and the cooling off period most people have been expecting is not happening just yet. Today the Cigar Association of America released its third-quarter report on premium cigar imports, and it showed a gain of 3.8 percent over the third quarter of 2023.
More than 314 million premium cigars were exported to the United States in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 303 million in the same period last year. This is an impressive number. Not so long ago, imports of 300 million cigars was considered the benchmark for a good year in the cigar business.
Most of the cigars come from a trio of producers. Nicaragua remains the powerhouse of the cigar industry, and it shipped 186.5 million cigars, up 2.8 percent. The Dominican Republic, the No. 2 producer, shipped 77.4 million cigars, up 12.9 percent. Honduras, the third-largest producer, had 48.3 million cigars, down 7 percent. Costa Rica, usually a marginal producer, showed huge gains with shipments of 2 million cigars, up from only 811,000 in the third quarter of 2023.
Last year, the United States imported 467 million cigars. Should this pace be maintained, the total imports for 2024 would reach 480 million cigars.
