Your key to smarter cigar trading.
The top performing Cuban cigar saw a 199.25% value increase.
For immediate release, 15 January, 2021 – Online Cuban cigar auction platform www.BondRoberts.com releases the first instalment of the quarterly Bond Roberts 25 Index (BR25).
The Bond Roberts 25 cigar index is the first metric of its kind which measures the auction performance of 25 regular production Cuban cigars over a five-year period. The BR25 Index is a market-leading concept which, for the first time, makes it possible to accurately evaluate Cuban cigar stock and inform future purchases.
Snapshot:
- The Cohiba Behike 54 is the top performer with a 199.25% value increase.
- The Por Larrañaga Montecarlo is the second top performer with a 181.16% value increase.
- The La Glora Cubana Medallie d’Or No. 4 is the third top performer with a 178.17% value increase.
- The top five cigars have a minimum 100% value increase.
reflected here in the Behike 54,” said Bond Roberts Co-Founder Robert Ayala. “Privately held stocks are tightly held with little coming to market. This certainly provides an opportunity to the discerning seller who believes the timing is right to offload Behike boxes (54 or otherwise) while new box supply is little to non-existent.”
“The two Por Larrañaga entries into the BondRoberts25 top 10 is reflective of their value proposition,” said Bond Roberts’ Co-Founder Rob Fox. “The brand is a renowned for its aging characteristics and the market appears prepared to pay a significant premium to those who have undertaken the aging process for them.”
Future BR25 will include features on Limited Edition and Regional Edition cigars.
All BondRoberts.com members have access to the BR25. Platinum and Gold members have further access to the Bond Roberts 100 which reports on the top 100 cigars, including regular production and specialty cigars, by rate of investment return over a five-year period.
Notes:
Performance data is taken solely from the Bond Roberts database of over 2500 sales (to Jan 2021).
Base prices are determined by the original Cuban retail pricing for the 25 regular production cigars selected.
