5月2日，美国雪茄协会发布的数据表明，美国2022年1月份雪茄进口量同比增长3.8%，进口手工雪茄达到2100万支，而去年1月份为2060万支。

从尼加拉瓜进口的雪茄数量继续排名第一，达到1470万支，占比是68%，同比增长19%。

从洪都拉斯进口的雪茄为320万支，同比增长33%。

而从多米尼加进口的雪茄数量为330万支，去年同期是560万支，下降了40%。有可能是12月份多米尼加因为假期关闭工厂的后遗症。恢复正常生产需要一个逐渐的过程。根据多米尼加雪茄制造商的说法，雪茄厂的人员配备一直是个问题，雪茄物流也是一个问题，跟你讲一个月，也讲不完的问题。

对于美国来说，2021年是手工雪茄进口最好的一年，一共有4.56亿支雪茄运到美国，同比增长了25.5%。而上一次年进口雪茄数量超过4亿支还是在1997年。

The ultra-hot handmade cigar market continues to show signs of growth. January 2022 imports, released today by the Cigar Association of America, showed 3.8 percent growth over last January. Just over 21 million handmade cigars were shipped to the United States in January, compared to 20.6 million in January 2021.

Nicaragua, which continues in the No. 1 spot, showed strong growth of 19 percent, with 14.7 million cigars shipped in January, 2022. That’s 68 percent of total shipments. 

Honduras also showed a big increase, up 33 percent to 3.2 million units.

The Dominican Republic had a steep decline, down 40 percent, from 5.6 million to 3.3 million, likely a hangover effect from the holiday closures of factories that begin in December. Getting back to normal production isn’t always a quick (or effortless) process. Staffing cigar factories has been a problem, according to cigarmakers, particularly cigarmakers in the Dominican Republic, and shipping cigars (like so many other products) remains problematic. One month can never tell the full story.

Last year was one of the best ever seen for the handmade cigar industry, with 456 million premium cigars shipped to the United States, up 25.5 percent. The last time imports exceeded 400 million units was in 1997.
