MedianTracked daily since July 2026
The median price across cigars sold by two or more of the 92 US online retailers tracked by CigarFinder is $10.40 per cigar as of July 15, 2026. The series updates daily and has been tracked since July 2026.
CigarFinder tracks live prices on tens of thousands of cigars from the major U.S. online retailers. For this index we normalized every listing to a price per cigar (so a box of 20 is compared fairly against a single), removed accessories, samplers, and cigarillos, then ranked retailers on the cigars they have in common. The result is an apples-to-apples look at who is genuinely cheapest, not just who advertises the lowest sticker price.
Two things stand out in the data. First, the same cigar varies a lot between stores: the typical line swings about 30% from the cheapest retailer to the most expensive. Second, no single store wins everything, the cheapest retailer changes by brand and by price band, which is exactly why comparing pays off.

"Cheapest when stocked" is the share of shared cigar lines where this retailer has the lowest price per cigar. A store with a smaller, value-focused catalog can rank high here even if its overall catalog is small.

How much you actually save
Comparing retailers: on the same cigar, picking the cheapest store instead of an average one saves a median of about $22.26 on a box of 20.
Stacking a coupon: when a sitewide percent-off code is active (currently 4 retailers, running 10% to 20% off), it adds roughly $35 more off a box of 20. See current verified cigar coupon codes for every retailer.
Methodology
This index is built from CigarFinder's live retailer catalogs, refreshed regularly. We include active, in-stock cigar listings priced above zero, exclude accessories, gift sets, samplers, cigarillos, and "compare to" clones, and convert each listing to a price per cigar using the pack size in the title. Retailers are compared only on the cigar lines they have in common, so the rankings reflect real, like-for-like pricing. CigarFinder tracks 19 online retailers in total; retailers without enough overlapping lines in a given edition are excluded from the rankings rather than compared unfairly. Marketplace and non-cigar sellers are excluded. Figures are medians to avoid distortion from a handful of ultra-premium or limited releases. Last updated July 1, 2026.
Two medians, two questions: the $10.00 figure above is computed on the comparable set, the cigar lines enough retailers share for a fair like-for-like ranking. Measured across all 68,000+ live listings we track, the median is $9.36 per stick (July 2026). Both are correct; the full all-listings breakdown lives in the quarterly Cigar Price Index article.
