自從1990年代美國的雪茄熱以來，2021年是美國進口手工雪茄首次突破4億支的一年。美國雪茄協會在2月22日公布的數據表明，去年11月份美國進口手工雪茄的數量同比增長7.4%。1到11月份累計進口量超過4.2億支。這是1997年以來的罕見現象，1997年當年美國進口手工雪茄的數量達到了4.18億支。

2021年1到11月份的進口量對比2020年全年的進口量，已經增長了33.5%。這個數據是在10月份進口數據發布僅僅幾個小時后公布的。這也是2021年迄今為止最不令人印象深刻的一個月。

2021年美國進口雪茄的數據良好，國內高檔雪茄行業表現強勁，尤其是2021年的最后幾個月。特別是去年12月份，進口量同比增長71%。2020年美國的雪茄進口量是3.61億支。

For the first time since the 1990s cigar boom, imports of premium cigars to the United States have exceeded 400 million units. A good showing for the month of November pushed import numbers to 420 million units, a territory the cigar industry hasn’t seen since 1997, when nearly 418 million cigars were shipped.

The news, released late this afternoon by the Cigar Association of America, showed an increase of 7.4 percent for the month of November. For the year—and only 11 months have been tallied at this point—shipments are up 33.5 percent over 2020 numbers.

This report came mere hours after the release of October figures, which were the least impressive month of 2021 to date.?

Last year was exceptionally strong in the premium cigar industry, particularly the closing months of the year. December, for example, had a 71 percent increase over 2020, taking imports to 361 million units.?
