If this is making its way to cigars, it may be indicative of the start of the next cigar boom... although I say that without a firm grasp on currently supply/sales numbers.
The reason for the statement, though, is that futures have been in play in the beverage space... wine obviously, and more recently single malt (on a larger scale)... so it makes sense that this would eventually work its way into cigars.
If the market supports it, that only means there is more money flowing into cigars, which means more competition for better cigars in the time to come.
