Price tiers (approximate)
These are approximate single-stick retail observations, not a price list. Tax in Hong Kong, Europe, a duty-free shop, and the producing country can dwarf the brand’s own tier. Cuban list prices, secondary markets, and travel retail are three different numbers.
| Tier | Approx. USD | Approx. HKD | Typical case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget | 3–7 | 25–55 | Short filler, machine-made, entry handmade |
| Mid | 7–14 | 55–110 | Everyday New World lines |
| Premium | 14–30 | 110–240 | Core Cubans and boutique New World |
| Luxury | 30–80+ | 240–630+ | Flagships, limited editions; above that is collecting theater |
Expensive does not mean you will like it. Printing, limited numbers, and celebrity stories go into the cost. Extreme list prices should be read as brand theater. Every price field in the register is approximate and will go stale.
