Les Fines Lames, the French cigar accessories maker, has announced that it will be implementing a price increase on three of its products next month.
The company’s signature item, the Le Petit cigar knife, will see increases between 3-7 percent depending on the specific model. This is the first increase for the Le Petit cigar knife since 2019.
DYAD and MONAD, Les Fines Lames’ concrete ashtrays, are increasing by 6 percent, while its cigar stand is increasing by 13 percent.
Three products will not see a price increase: the Punch Bracelet, the Le Tag T135, and the Le Tag T100.
“Covid-19, rapid transformation of the global supply chain, rising raw materials prices, highly volatile transport costs, geo-strategic instabilities in Europe and the Middle East, and our suppliers have increased their prices by an average of more than 16.3% over the period 2020-2024,” said the company in an email announcing the increase. “For these reasons and in order to maintain Les Fines Lames Made in France high standards, the enterprise need to fairly adjust the prices of half of its catalog.”
The increase goes into effect on May 15, 2024.
