Price is too low, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied

Explanation:

A shortage occurred when the amount of products that available in the market cannot match the amount of demand from the customers who are willing to buy it.

This can serve as an indication that sellers of the cigar could increase the price of the product in order to obtain more profit. Eventually, the market will find the equilibrium price that represent a balance between the product's supply and the product's demand.
