| | "In 1996, large inexpensive cigars (more than one dollar retail) and cigarillos |
| | accounted for the greatest share of cigar sales (60.3 percent) followed by small cigars |
| | (33.2 percent), and large premium cigars (6.5 percent). In recent years, cigar sales |
| | have increased in all three categories, but the fastest growing segment of the cigar |
| | market has been the premium cigar category where sales have increased by 154 |
| | percent since 1993." |
