Pipe tobacco remained a small subcategory in 2023 and this is not set to change in 2024 as traditional pipes have limited usage in Slovakia, where they are deemed unfashionable. Younger adult consumers of legal smoking age are opting for trendy alternatives over the more traditional smoking options.
A two-month window for selling cigarette products with older (lower) excise duty was allowed by legislation in 2023, while for cut tobacco, a period of six months was permitted, giving roll-your-own tobacco a temporary price advantage and allowing distributors to sell out their stock. Future excise tax increases for cigarettes, which are set to occur every second year, with the next hike set for 2026, will positively impact fine cut tobacco sales.
Premiumisation trends will enjoy a revival in the forthcoming period and should positively impact sales of premium cigars and cigarillos, which are sold almost exclusively via tobacco specialist retailers. This will effectively put a halt to further growth within smoking tobacco, as consumers will be able to purchase better quality smoking products, shifting away from roll-your-own and make-your-own tobacco.
