Published: Fri Sep 11 2015


Traditionally, cigars was mainly consumed by males of 50-years old and above in the middle-high and, in particular, high income groups. Cigar consumption is generally regarded as a luxury habit due to the high price of the main brands, which are Cuban. With a predominantly chauvinistic local culture, women were still not willing to be seen smoking cigars in public. However, in Ecuador, cigars did not develop much due to the strong penetration of cigarettes.

Competitive Landscape

CorporaciÙŽn Habanos and Aray Cigars were the main cigar manufacturers in Ecuador in 2014. The former is a Cuban company with longstanding traditional and internationally-known brands, including Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta and Hoyo de Monterrey. Aray Cigars is a local company with strong brand recognition due to its product quality. The main distributor was Casa del Habano, which is a franchise of CorporaciÙŽn Habanos and holds the companyÂ’s exclusive distribution rights.

Industry Prospects

It is likely that the trend discussed in the previous edition of this report of an increase in the younger cigar smoking population will continue as the key forecast period trend. In addition to the expected continuity of the newfound interest of cigars as a sign of status and sophistication for high-income consumers in their twenties, the increase in local production is expected to create growth for cigars. As Ecuadorian cigars are already positioned as quality products through word of mouth, the increase in local production is likely to arouse curiosity and interest among the population, as prices will be more affordable.
