4 Kings Cigarillos Rise to $1.59 Pre-Price, Marking Second 2026 Increase
The 4 Kings Cigarillos Rise to $1.59 Pre-Price, Marking Second 2026 Increase occurred on November 3, 2026, when national wholesalers listed new four-packs featuring the updated price stamp. You can find the latest inventory and various flavor options in our 4 Kings cigars collection. This adjustment, affecting Napa Grape, Diamond, and Sweet Delicious, moves the brand ten cents above the $1.49 tier established earlier this year. This report examines the wholesale shifts and retail margin changes resulting from this price hike.
Wholesale Shifts and Margin Changes
Tobacco General, Tobacco Stock, and Prime Wholesale all added the $1.59 Napa Grape, Diamond, and Sweet Delicious boxes on the same day, November 3. Each box holds 15 resealable foil pouches of 4 cigarillos, totaling 60 sticks. At Tobacco General, the wholesale box price moved from $13.85 for the $1.49 print to $14.25 for the $1.59 print—a 40-cent increase per 60 cigarillos.
That gap tells the story of the change. The shelf price rises approximately 6.7%, from $1.49 to $1.59 a pack, while the distributor's case cost rises about 2.9%. Because pre-priced tobacco packs lock the retail price on the label, the extra margin often benefits the retailer. Store owners who sell 4 Kings at the printed price will clear roughly 20 cents more per pack than they did on the $1.49 print.
The 4 Kings Price Ladder
Wholesaler listing dates show how quickly the brand has climbed over the last two years:
- 2024: Most flavors carried a $1.39 print, with a 99-cent print on older stock.
- Late 2024: A $1.19 print appeared on Sweet Delicious and Pink Lemonade.
- January to April 2026: Core flavors like French Vanilla, Green Sweet, and Watermelon Grape moved to $1.49.
- October 21, 2026: Blueberry Pineapple became the last core flavor to reach $1.49.
- November 3, 2026: Napa Grape, Diamond, and Sweet Delicious appear at $1.59.
Two increases in a single year is unusual for a value cigarillo, but 4 Kings is not alone within its parent's portfolio. Good Times USA recently moved City Life cigarillos to a $1.69 pre-price in October, while Sweet Woods Leaf two-packs rose to $1.69 in September. The company has been repricing its whole range from the bottom up through 2026.
What it Means for Shoppers
The $1.59 print is currently limited to three flavors, and wholesalers are still carrying $1.49 stock of the others. Shoppers who buy 4 Kings by the box can expect a mixed shelf for a few weeks: a $1.49 Blueberry Pineapple next to a $1.59 Diamond. The cigarillos themselves have not changed; the brand's Dominican-grown tobacco blend, four-pack foil pouch, and flavor list remain the same.
"The printed price is a ceiling the manufacturer sets, not a guarantee of what you will pay."
A2Z Tobacco currently lists 4 Kings Blueberry Pineapple at the $1.49 pre-price and the brand's 4-for-99-cent tobacco wraps at $23.99 for a 30-pouch box. Older $1.39 and 99-cent cigarillo listings are out of stock and will be replaced by the new prints as they ship.
As always, tobacco pricing varies by state and locality. Excise taxes on cigars range widely, and some jurisdictions restrict or ban flavored cigarillo sales entirely. Consumers should check local regulations regarding availability.
