The piece argues that cigar and tobacco prices did not fall with general price declines due to the lead time for curing and ageing leaf, regional leaf types not matching cigar use, and war-time cost shifts. It details how pre-war price advantages benefited consumers for years, the lag before manufacturing passed costs on, and compares modest tobacco price rises to much larger increases in other goods, with specific per-pound and per-package shifts for cigars, cigarettes, and leaf tobaccos across states and types. It notes that reductions are unlikely until leaf crops mature into production years 1922 to 1925 and highlights the sustained impact of War Revenue Taxes and import duties on pricing.
