Indian Consumer-Indian Consumer-‘Cigars A Fashion Statement’‘Cigars A Fashion Statement’
• “People start smoking cigars as a trend, then it becomes a lifestyle statement and they get hooked onto it.
• The actual cigar connoisseur, of course, is passionate about his cigar. He wants to learn more about it. Cigar smoking for him is not a trend. He’s really enjoying the experience,”
• “They are happy that cigars are now available at their door-step through us. And that our prices are competitive and cheaper than anywhere in Europe.
Cigars vs Beedis- Cigars vs Beedis- Candy Flavored Candy Flavored Cigarettes Latest Teen Smoking FadCigarettes Latest Teen Smoking Fad
• Flavored to taste like vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, Bidis (pronounced "beedies"), are an imported cigarette from India and the latest rage among teenagers experimenting with smoking. Sold most often in specialty shops, and amazingly, health food stores, bidis are hand-rolled and strongly resemble a marijuana joint, perhaps providing an additional allure for teenagers.
• Ironically, bidis have been produced in India for decades and have been known there as the 'poor man's' cigarette. Exporters recently discovered a new market: American youths. This latest fad mirrors another that also has been around for years and again only recently discovered by youths - cigar smoking.
