New cigarette price list after the increase in Egypt
The Eastern Company officially announced implementing new prices for Egyptian cigarettes, leaving many to wonder as to when these would be implemented.
The Eastern Company officially announced the adoption of a new price list for local cigarettes, effective Friday, July 18.
This step comes as part of the company’s efforts to implement the value-added tax law and the comprehensive health insurance system while maintaining market stability and providing products at fair prices.
The decision was made during the company’s Board of Directors meeting No. (11) of 2025, held on Thursday, July 17, which approved unifying the retail price of a pack of cigarettes to consumers at LE 44. This includes all of the company’s most popular products in the Egyptian market.
The Eastern Company explained that the merchant’s profit margin varies depending on the type of product, ranging between LE0.050 and LE0.250 per package—ensuring a balance between the rights of the consumer and the merchant.
