Hello,

I am in the advanced stages of planning for the possible opening of a cigar store in the financial district of a large city (metro area is 4+ million)?

Would anyone know what the average cigar store sells in cigars - i.e number of cigars per year?

I would guess minimum 25,000 per year?

Thanks

we did an estimate with the store around me and came up with only 11,000, but it is a smaller store.

Thanks for the info.

I do hope your estimate is low.

One thing you may want to do, if you haven't already, is to figure out how many you need to sell to breakeven.
