The North America cigar and cigarillos market size was estimated at USD 15.72 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 29.78 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2025 to 2033. Rising disposable incomes and lifestyle aspirations, strong cigar culture and social acceptance, premiumization trend, flavor innovation and youth appeal, and retail expansion and e-commerce growth are some of the factors driving the market.
Increasing disposable incomes across North America have fueled consumer spending on leisure and luxury products, including cigars and cigarillos. Smoking premium cigars has become a status symbol for affluent groups, often associated with celebrations, networking, and high-end lifestyles. This aspirational demand, combined with rising urbanization, has supported market growth. Middle-income groups are also contributing, as they seek affordable indulgence through flavored cigarillos. Overall, higher purchasing power continues to drive consistent demand, strengthening mass-market and premium product segments across the region.
Moreover, the region has a long-established cigar culture, deeply tied to tradition, social gatherings, and celebratory occasions. Cigar lounges, clubs, and events have reinforced the association of cigars with leisure and networking, making them a socially accepted indulgence. Premium cigars are often considered part of a sophisticated lifestyle, while mass cigars remain accessible for casual users. This ingrained cultural acceptance and widespread availability sustain steady consumption across demographics. The combination of heritage, social value, and lifestyle appeal strongly drives the market's long-term stability.
The "Survey of Premium Versus Large Manufactured Cigars Use in U.S. Consumers", published on the National Library of Medicine in 2023, examines the smoking behaviors, purchasing habits, and health risk perceptions of users of premium cigars (PC) and large manufactured cigars (LMC) in the U.S. Through an Internet questionnaire, the study analyzed responses from 188 participants, revealing that most users were aged 30-69, with higher income levels among PC users who preferred purchasing from online retailers or specialty shops, while LMC users favored convenience stores.
The findings indicated 82% smoked at home, with many relighting unfinished cigars. Both groups recognized the health risks associated with cigar smoking, showing no significant differences in their perceptions of addiction, cancer, or heart disease risks. The study underscores the need for clearer definitions and regulations in the tobacco market, as it challenges the belief that premium cigars carry less health risk compared to large, manufactured cigars.
