Altadis Announces Price Increases on Cigars

Saludos,

Greetings, apostles of Altadis. We got the word that Spanish-based cigar giant Altadis has announced price increases effective January 19, 2013. As a cigar smoker, you can usually expect cigar companies to make their annual price increases this time of year. Altadis for the last few years has been the first company of the year to raise prices. We at Habana Port only raise our prices if the manufacturer does (so please don’t complain to us). In a letter from Altadis to their retailers, the company states that “rising tobacco and manufacturing costs” are the reasons for the jump. In this letter they also announced new brands like Casa de Garcia (Nicaraguan Blend), Casa de Garcia (Red Blend) and H. Upmann Legacy. Finally, the letter revealed a new “trade program” that they will implement in 2013 called Tobacconist360. No other details were divulged as to what this program entails.

So if you are a fan of their brands like Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo, Trinidad, H. Upmann, Don Diego, Te-Amo, etc, come into our shop now while the prices are low. Come next Saturday, the cost to smoke these fine cigars unfortunately goes up.

Until the next post, siempre fumando,
Habana Port

Montecristo Classic Toro & Ashtray Set

Montecristo Classic Toro & Ashtray Set

Saludos,

Greetings, patrons of panatelas. In today’s post we want to announce a new arrival into our shop: the Montecristo Classic Toro & Ashtray Set. This beautiful package includes 5 Montecristo Classic Toro cigars and a ceramic Montecristo-adorned 4-cigar ashtray. If you are a fan of this old beloved Cuban brand, this set is a must for your collection. Or show your cigar smoking friend, family member or boss that you appreciate him by gifting him with this fantastic gift. This set is also great for Louisianians who hold the fleur-de-lis close to their hearts.

As is usual in the consumer world, buyers can save more when they bundle and this set is a prime example. Normally the cost of the 5 cigars by themselves is $54.95 while the value of the ashtray is $20 for a total of $74.95. You save 33% when you pull the trigger on this deal and your cost is $49.99 (plus sales tax)! Wow. And if we ship out of state, we will throw an extra 8% discount ($45.99) as you won’t get charged Louisiana state excise tax.

So stop in today, call us at 985-809-1818 or email us at info@habanaport.com to get your set today! And if you purchase this set and mention this blog post when ordering, we’ll throw in free shipping!

Now if you don’t mind, we need to get away before we end up giving away the whole store.

Until the next post, siempre fumando,
Habana Port
