As of October 4, 2026, Egyptian consumers are monitoring cigarette prices, particularly after some brands experienced increases earlier in the year. According to recent price listings, several local and imported cigarette brands have maintained their current prices without any new hikes. The stability in prices comes as a relief to consumers who have been tracking the costs of their preferred brands.
The company Philip Morris Egypt has announced its updated price list for popular brands such as Merit, Marlboro, and L&M, along with heated tobacco products. These price adjustments aim to standardize costs among retailers and ensure compliance with the listed prices through a QR code printed on packaging. This move is part of efforts to regulate the market and prevent price discrepancies.
According to the updated price list from Philip Morris Egypt, the prices for traditional cigarettes are as follows: Merit cigarettes, in all varieties, are priced at 111 Egyptian pounds per pack. Marlboro cigarettes, in all varieties, are priced at 102 Egyptian pounds per pack. Marlboro Crafted cigarettes, in all varieties, cost 79 Egyptian pounds per pack, while L&M cigarettes, in all varieties, are priced at 82 Egyptian pounds per pack.
Philip Morris Egypt's price list also includes heated tobacco products. The TEREA pack, in all varieties, is priced at 82 Egyptian pounds, while TEREA Capsules, in all varieties, cost 87 Egyptian pounds per pack. HEETS, in all varieties, are available at 69 Egyptian pounds per pack. These prices reflect the company's effort to provide a range of options for consumers.
The Eastern Company for Tobacco (Easter Company), which produces popular local brands, had previously announced a price increase of 4 Egyptian pounds per pack for various cigarette brands. This adjustment brought the prices of several popular brands, such as Cleopatra and Mondial, to a unified level of 48 Egyptian pounds per pack. The price hike was attributed to the periodic review of production costs and the need to ensure a steady supply of products in the local market.
Consumers are advised to verify prices by checking the printed price or the QR code on the packaging. If a retailer requests a higher price than 48 Egyptian pounds for the mentioned brands, consumers can report the incident to the Consumer Protection Agency. This measure aims to protect consumers from potential exploitation and ensure fair pricing practices.
The current prices for popular local cigarette brands from the Eastern Company for Tobacco are as follows: Cleopatra King Size, Cleopatra Soft Queen, Cleopatra Box (white/colors), and Cleopatra Super, all priced at 48 Egyptian pounds per pack. Mondial (red, yellow, silver) and Mondial Switch (menthol/blueberry) also cost 48 Egyptian pounds per pack. These prices reflect the recent adjustments made by the company.
