Cigar Price Index
How CigarBid auction prices are moving, week by week, across the 12 most-traded brands. 100 = prices in the week of Apr 20, 2026; 105 means lots are closing 5% higher than then.
All brands, weekly
Index100 = startEach sale counts as its final price ÷ that cigar’s average close, so a week heavy on boxes doesn’t look pricier than a week of 5-packs.

How the index works
Every recorded CigarBid sale is compared with the average close of the same cigar and pack size. The index averages those ratios for each week, then scales the first week to 100.
Brand lines start at 100 in their first week with sales. Weeks with no sales of a brand are left as gaps.
Using it
A falling index means lots are closing cheaper than usual: a good time to bid. A rising one means more competition for the same cigars, so patience can pay.
