現(xiàn)在還有一個(gè)季度的數(shù)據(jù)沒有統(tǒng)計(jì)，但是美國(guó)優(yōu)質(zhì)手工雪茄的進(jìn)口量已經(jīng)到了3億支了。美國(guó)雪茄協(xié)會(huì)不久前發(fā)布的9月份進(jìn)口數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2021年9月份雪茄進(jìn)口量比2020年9月份當(dāng)月的進(jìn)口量同比增長(zhǎng)了13.1%，而2021年1-9月份美國(guó)優(yōu)質(zhì)雪茄進(jìn)口量為3.38億支，這是美國(guó)雪茄進(jìn)口量連續(xù)第10年突破3億支。

2020年1-9月份，美國(guó)進(jìn)口雪茄2.37億支，今年前三季度進(jìn)口量同比增長(zhǎng)了42.7%。2020年的部分月份因?yàn)槭艿脚c新冠疫情相連的停工的影響，進(jìn)口量有所下降，而最終2020年全年的進(jìn)口量表現(xiàn)的非常強(qiáng)勁。預(yù)估2021年最后幾個(gè)月進(jìn)口數(shù)據(jù)公布后，40%的增長(zhǎng)率可能還會(huì)變化。但是幾乎可以肯定的是，美國(guó)2021年的雪茄進(jìn)口量將超過2020年，可能達(dá)到4億支。

9月份的進(jìn)口量里，尼加拉瓜的雪茄進(jìn)口貢獻(xiàn)很大。尼加拉瓜向美國(guó)出口了2340萬支雪茄，比2020年9月份的1660萬支增加了41%。多米尼加的出口量基本持平，是1319萬支。洪都拉斯的出口量同比下降了11.6%，為760萬支。

Shipments of premium, handmade cigars have already roared past 300 million units—and there’s still an entire quarter worth of numbers left to count. The September update, just released by the Cigar Association of America, showed a 13.1 percent increase over September 2020, pushing premium cigar imports to 338 million units. That’s the tenth consecutive year that imports have exceeded 300 million cigars. In the same time period for 2020, only 237 million cigars were shipped, making this year up 42.7 percent over 2020 through September.?

Part of the 2020 numbers were negatively impacted by pandemic-related shutdowns, and 2020 ended with remarkably robust shipments, so it’s quite unlikely that the 40 percent gains will stay when the final months are tabulated. That said, it’s all but certain that 2021 will end up with greater numbers than 2020, perhaps as high as 400 million cigars or more.

Nicaragua was responsible for essentially all the gains in the September update. The Central American nation shipped 23.4 million cigars to the United States, up 41 percent over the 16.6 million shipped in September 2020. Dominican shipments were essentially flat at 13.1 million, and No. 3 producer Honduras showed a decline, dropping 11.6 percent to 7.6 million cigars.
