優(yōu)質(zhì)手工雪茄持續(xù)涌入美國，根據(jù)政府最新數(shù)據(jù)顯示，截至2022年8月底，美國進(jìn)口手工雪茄數(shù)量為3.07億支，相比2021年同期的2.94億支，同比增長了4.3%。

3億這個(gè)數(shù)字曾經(jīng)一度被認(rèn)為是雪茄行業(yè)好年景的標(biāo)桿，如今這個(gè)數(shù)字只是一個(gè)起點(diǎn)。

雪茄出口大國仍然是尼加拉瓜，今年前8個(gè)月，尼加拉瓜出口到美國的手工雪茄數(shù)量是1.67億支，比2021年前8個(gè)月增長8.9%。根據(jù)美國雪茄協(xié)會(huì)公布的數(shù)據(jù)，多米尼加出口到美國的雪茄數(shù)量排名第二，為8460萬支。洪都拉斯排名第三，數(shù)量為5440萬支。多米尼加、洪都拉斯的出口美國雪茄數(shù)量和去年比較，數(shù)量持平。

2021年，美國進(jìn)口優(yōu)質(zhì)手工雪茄的數(shù)量是4.56億支，這是1997年以來的最高數(shù)量。如果在今年剩余時(shí)間還保持這個(gè)增速，今年美國進(jìn)口雪茄的數(shù)量將達(dá)到4.75億支，到年底還有四個(gè)月的數(shù)據(jù)，我們拭目以待。

Imported handmade, premium cigars continue to pour into the United States, with the latest government figures showing continued growth. For the first eight months of 2022, ending in August, more than 307 million handmade cigars were shipped to the United States, an increase of 4.3 percent when compared to the same period in 2021, when 294 million cigars were shipped.

The number 300 million was once considered the benchmark for a good year in the cigar business; now it’s just a starting point.

Market leader Nicaragua continues to be red hot, shipping 167 million cigars through August, up 8.9 percent over the first eight months of 2021. Shipments from the Dominican Republic, the No. 2 producer, and Honduras, which ranks third, were relatively flat, at 84.6 million and 54.4 million, respectively, according to data from the Cigar Association of America.

In 2021, premium cigar shipments hit 456 million cigars, a number not seen since 1997. Should this pace of growth be maintained for the remainder of the year, shipments would amount to 475 million cigars, but four months of data remain.
