What You Walk Away With
Even if we never do business, you leave this call with something worth keeping.
Most 'discovery calls' exist to sell you on the vendor. This one exists to give you a real diagnostic of your cigar program - whether or not we're the right fit to fix it.
02
Valued at $300 A venue-specific category revenue benchmark
What percentage of your bar, hospitality, or retail revenue should be cigars? We'll give you a grounded number based on 14 years of comparable floors.
03
Valued at $800 A 30-day fix list (if one exists)
The top 3 highest-leverage changes you could make this month to lift category revenue - whether or not you ever become an MDC account.
04
Priceless A straight answer on whether MDC is the right fit
No hard pitch. If we're not the right distributor for your floor, we'll tell you - and point you at a better option.
05
Valued at $1,200 A custom inventory proposal within 48 hours (if it's a fit)
Tailored SKU mix, pricing, and rollout timeline for your specific venue. You review it on your own time; there's no second-call pressure.
Total value delivered on the call: $2,800+
Cost to you: zero · 15 minutes of your time · No obligation, no follow-up pressure
Pick My Time Below Is This the Right Fit?
MDC is built for a specific kind of cigar program.
This is for you if…
- You run a hospitality venue (hotel, resort, casino, private club, steakhouse, cigar lounge) and cigars are - or could be - a meaningful revenue line.
- You're a specialty retailer (tobacconist, liquor, golf pro shop) doing $50K+/year in cigars and willing to invest in training + curation to grow.
- You want a real relationship with a distributor, not a login to a portal.
- You're willing to let a 14-year operator tell you what's actually moving on floors like yours.
Not for you if…
- You need 10,000 units of mass-market cigars at commodity pricing. We don't play that game.
- You're looking for a one-time order with no program, no training, no relationship. Try a catalog house.
- You want us to dump SKUs into your shelf without a plan. That's how you end up with dead inventory - we don't do it.
Honest on the Call
MDC Promise
Since 2012
Our Promise to You on the Call
If it's not a fit, we'll tell you - and we'll help you anyway.
MDC has been in this business for 14 years. Most sales calls are rigged to end one way. This one isn't. If MDC isn't the right distributor for your venue, we'll say so on the call, give you actionable advice you can use regardless, and recommend someone who is a better fit. That's been our operating principle since 2012, and it's not going to change.

Before You Pick a Time
Questions about how this call actually works.
Is this really 15 minutes? What if I need longer?
15 minutes is the scheduled slot. If the conversation is productive and you want to keep going, we keep going. If it's clearly not a fit, we wrap up in 10. No padding calls with "next steps" you didn't ask for - that's the house rule.
Do I need to know anything before the call?
No prep required. It helps if you can roughly describe your venue (type, size, traffic), your current cigar program (if any), and what brought you here. But your MDC rep will ask the right questions to fill in the gaps.
Will you ask me to buy something on the call?
No. We don't sell on calls. If MDC is the right fit, you'll get a written proposal afterward to review at your own pace. If it's not, we'll tell you and end the call. That's the model.
What if I'm already working with another distributor?
Most people who book this call are. The point of the call isn't to pull you out of your current setup - it's to help you diagnose whether your current program is running at its potential. Sometimes the answer is "stay put and fix these three things." Sometimes it's "switch." We'll give you the honest read either way.
Can my GM or buying manager join the call instead?
Absolutely. Or alongside you. The more operational detail on the call, the more useful it is. Just note who's joining in the booking form.
Is there any cost?
No. The call is free. There's no obligation to open an account. This is our front door - if you're the right fit, we both benefit; if you're not, no time wasted.
One Last Thing
The worst case is 15 minutes of your time. The best case is a cigar program you actually make money on.
P.S. Your call is hosted by a senior MDC rep - not an outsourced SDR or appointment-setter. Same person who'd actually run your program.
