Important Update: Price Adjustments Due to Rising Costs

**Important Update: Price Adjustments Due to Rising Costs**

At Buitrago Cigars, we have always been committed to providing our customers with the best prices, widest selection, and top-notch service. Over the past year, while many manufacturers have implemented multiple price increases, we have worked hard to absorb these rising costs and keep our prices steady for as long as possible.

Unfortunately, due to continued external pressures beyond our control, we are now forced to make price adjustments on many of the products we carry.

What Is Driving This Price Increase?

Several key factors are contributing to these unavoidable price changes:

**1. Manufacturer Price Increases:**
Major manufacturers in the cigar and tobacco industry have already raised their prices — some more than once in the past year. For example:

* **Phillip Morris**, owners of **Black & Mild Cigars**, have implemented two price hikes in just the last year.
* **Swedish Match**, which owns brands such as **Garcia Y Vega Cigars, Game Cigars, and White Owl Cigars**, has also increased prices multiple times.

While we’ve worked tirelessly to shield our customers from these increases, we are now at a point where we can no longer absorb these higher costs without jeopardizing our ability to operate.

**2. Tariffs and Import Fees:**
Global trade has seen significant shifts in tariffs and fees related to importing tobacco products and accessories. These added costs directly impact the landed price of goods we bring in, especially on international brands.

**3. Rising Transportation and Logistics Costs:**
The cost of shipping and freight has steadily climbed due to fuel price increases, labor shortages, and ongoing supply chain challenges. Moving products from manufacturers to our warehouse, and ultimately to your door, has become significantly more expensive.

This Increase Is Not About Profit

We want to be very clear:
**This price adjustment is not designed to increase our profits.**
It is a necessary step to cover the rising operational costs of the thousands of products we carry and to ensure we can continue to serve you.

At Buitrago Cigars, we take pride in being one of the most competitive online cigar shops, offering an extensive variety of brands and products. We remain dedicated to maintaining the high level of service and selection you’ve come to trust. This modest price adjustment allows us to continue to operate, maintain inventory, and serve customers nationwide and internationally.

Our Promise to You

We understand that price increases are never easy, and we remain committed to:

* Offering frequent promotions and deals to help offset costs.
* Providing outstanding customer service.
* Maintaining a wide selection of brands like **Swisher Sweets, Black & Mild, White Owl, Game, Dutch Masters, Rocky Patel, Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta**, and many more.

We deeply value your loyalty and understanding during these challenging times. Thank you for continuing to choose Buitrago Cigars.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding these changes, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support team. We are always here to help.
