Midyear price increases are relatively uncommon in the cigar industry, but that’s not what makes the increase announced by Battleground Cigars interesting. Rather, it’s because the company is attributing it to upcoming FDA regulation in addition to increased manufacturing costs. While a spokesperson declined to provide specifics as to the increase, it will be between 10 to 50 cents per cigar. The increase goes into effect on Aug. 1.
