Even before this spike in prices, Cohibas and Trinidads were already among the most expensive cigars in the world, but this change in prices will be considerable. A toro-sized Siglo VI presently retails for £46.35 in the United Kingdom (about $57). In Switzerland, a Siglo VI retails for around $56.

But today in Hong Kong, current pricing for a Cohiba Siglo VI is HK$761 (around $97). When these higher prices go into effect the price of a Siglo VI will jump approximately 68 percent in the U.K.

The last time Cigar Aficionado was in Havana, in February 2020, Cohiba Siglo VI cigars (when they could be found) were priced at around 20 CUCs, or $22.60 when factoring in the conversion loss from U.S. dollars into Cuban Convertible Pesos. When this new price hits in Cuba, that same cigar will sell for more than four times the old price.
