That's based on dollar sales.
I wonder what the total item sales were?

I was thinking the same thing, the Cohiba Behikes and Gran Reservas were very recent, 1 box of each equals $2069 for 15 GRs + $387 for 10 Behikes = $2456 for 25 sticks.
That's the equivalent of 12.5 boxes of Monte #2s.
The numbers behind what Cohiba raked in off of their new stuff must be disgusting in comparison to everything else.
Does anyone know what the market for cigars that are legally available to US residents is? I wonder how Nicaragua, Honduras, DR, etc combined compare to the $368M Cuban market. I know there is a lot of speculation that when/ if the embargo is lifted the demand for Cubans will skyrocket and the quality will decrease. I'm sure that is true to an extent. I know that the US is a huge market, but I wonder how we really compare to the rest of the cigar smoking world. I am fairly uneducated in the world outside of the US but my understanding is that non-Cuban cigars are fairly uncommon in markets where Cubans are legal.
I hope this post doesn't run afoul of any of the forum rules. If it does I will happily delete it.
