These are pennies compared to the Mac Baren increase a few years ago. A 100 gram tin of ODF went from $12 to $20 overnight. That's why we keep saying that tobacco will never be cheaper than it is now. Cellar it while you can still afford it
I believe it went from $14.5 on average to $22. But then, Mac Baren tobaccos have been more than underpriced for decades on the US market. With the introduction of the HH line an adjustment was required but their adjustment had been excessive because made overnight rather than over a more prolonged period of time. They had lost a lot of sale since which forced them to decrease their prices sometime in 2016 if I remember correctly.
And yes, granted, Dunhill tobacco prices have always been fairly low on the US market. I remember, in 2005, a tin of Dunhill was $5.85 or $6.15 when GL Pease was $7.50 or so. I don't know if this was a direct impact of STG taking over production from Murray's, though.
As Sykes pointed out it was a manufacturer increase I wonder why most increased by $.60 but Nightcap jumped $2.30? I wouldn't think the Perique is still from St James Parish?
