Quality Importers Trading Company has announced price reductions across a large portion of its XIKAR cigar accessory lineup, with the new pricing going into effect today, September 1.
The changes include 24 models of XIKAR lighters and cutters, the brand’s entire lineup of travel cases, and 16 humidification-related products. According to the company, prices are being reduced between 3 and 28 percent, with an average decrease of approximately 17 percent among the affected products.
Quality Importers says the reductions come after several years of rising costs tied to supply chain issues, tariffs, manufacturing, and transportation.
“Over the last several years, many factors within the global supply chain coupled with layers of tariffs forced costs up, which ultimately put pressure on wholesale and retail prices” says Marilyn Florez-Giordano, President and COO of Quality Importers. “We are passionate about our business and the people we serve, so our challenge was to find new ways to keep the line affordable and profitable. We sought to create new efficiencies and cost savings throughout the entire supply chain, including demand planning, sourcing, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, to offset as much of the outside cost pressures as possible. The return to stable and lower global shipping rates and the recent tariff reductions has helped. Today, we are thrilled to be in a position to pass on the benefits of our team’s work to the devoted fans of XIKAR® cigar accessories and our international network of retailers and distributors.”
The company previously made a similar move with its Stinky Cigar brand. Quality Importers has exclusively manufactured and marketed Stinky Cigar ashtrays since 2011 and acquired the brand outright in 2024. This past June, the company reduced wholesale and retail pricing on the brand’s metal ashtrays.
The new XIKAR pricing applies to new orders beginning September 1.
