Q.
How important is country of origin?

A.
​We found people care more about country of origin when they're just beginning as new enthusiasts or when they're discerning, seasoned aficionados. In our experience, most consumers who are in between the two extremes seem to care less about country of origin. With the beginning enthusiast, the country of origin is how you can identify the cigar. Usually, we find beginner specially looking for one specific country as they go through “phases” of what they like. As the beginner moves on, the focus is just trying as many cigars as they can. Brand, wrappers, and country of origin are not as important as just trying as many cigars as they can. It seems once they’ve finished that phase, country of origin because very prominent again. If an enthusiast knows the country of origin, chances are they’ll be able to tell what the cigar will taste like and smoke like.
