Another Boom on the way?

[Drake]

i think the supply would increase. but that's just my ignorant assumption

[jaewing]

If the demand increases it will take some time for the supply to increase to meet that demand. This is true in any supply/demand economic cycle . . . and especially true for cigars since they take so long to produce from growing plant to finished cigar.

If there is a "new boom" the demand will go higher and unless there is a stock pile of stogies not currently in circulation (ie in the retail/wholesale market stream of commerce) the prices may increase as wholesale and retail suppliers will be able to get customers, looking for fine cigars, to pay higher prices.

My 2 cents.

I'm also a retailer so the prospect of another boom gets me excited.


It's kind of like the same situation we are seeing with gas prices. World wide, the demand for oil has sky rocketed. India, China, some of the bigger countries population wise are catching up with the United States in regards to energy consumption. I don't see gas prices dropping in the foreseeable future.
