Abstracts

Cigar smoking has a long history in Bulgaria, but its image is very different from that of cigarettes and smoking tobacco. While cigarettes are the everyday smoking product, cigars (large, standard, small and even cigarillos) are seen as luxury. They are bought for special occasions and as a treat, even by people who are not regular smokers. The positive publicity about cigar smoking in the press and the mysterious and luxury image of cigar smokers boosted the category’s performance.
