PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Mixed picture
Cigar sales in Azerbaijan are expected to record marginal growth over the forecast period, driven by increasing consumer sophistication, rising interest in premium products, and a growing association with luxury lifestyles. However, high unit prices are likely to limit wider adoption, keeping cigars a niche category that primarily appeals to mid- to high-income consumers in urban centres like Baku.
Cahan Tobacco International MMC to maintain its lead
Cahan Tobacco International MMC is expected to maintain its lead in cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco over the forecast period due to its well-established infrastructure, strong distribution network, and strategic brand portfolio. As the official representative of premium global cigar brands, and operator of La Casa del Habano in Baku, the company holds a dominant position in cigars.
Limited innovation due to niche nature of products
Over the forecast period, no significant innovations are expected in cigars, cigarillos, or smoking tobacco, primarily due to their limited market size and niche consumer base. The categories remain relatively small and specialised, making large-scale product development less attractive for manufacturers.
