Why MDC stocks ACID

ACID is in the MDC rotation because it does a job no traditional cigar can: it recruits new customers. The sweet, aromatic profile sells to curious first-timers, and the packaging pulls attention on any shelf. For a lot of retail accounts, ACID is the single fastest-turning brand in the case.

MDC carries 33 active ACID SKUs across its collections - Blue, Gold, Green, Opulence, and the ACID 20 series. That includes the Kuba Kuba and Blondie, two of the best-selling infused cigars ever made. We help you pick the handful of SKUs that match your foot traffic instead of guessing across the whole catalog.

“ACID is in our standing rotation because the accounts we serve - from casinos to cigar bars - sell through it consistently. That's the only reason a brand stays on our line card.”
- Peter Roth, Founder, MDC - 14 years distributing ACID

The fuller, richer end of the ACID range for infused fans who want more body.

Venue Fit

Which venues stock ACID

ACID belongs anywhere the customer is new to cigars. Liquor stores and vape shops move it fastest - it is an impulse buy with built-in brand recognition. Golf shops do well with Blondies at the turn, and hotel and casino bars use ACID to serve guests who ask for "something sweet" or "something different." Traditional cigar lounges usually keep a small ACID facing too, because the requests never stop. It is a volume brand, not a connoisseur brand - and that is exactly its value.

The retail margin math for ACID

MDC's active ACID SKUs run roughly $40-$279 per box wholesale depending on the collection and format, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. Because many ACID boxes pack 20-40 cigars, the per-stick cost stays low while the retail price holds firm on brand recognition - a healthy margin profile for high-traffic retail. Your rep quotes real numbers for your account up front.

How to build a ACID program with MDC

The MDC approach to any brand is the same: start with a curated core rotation sized to your venue, prove sell-through, then layer in deeper SKU coverage as the account matures. For a typical hospitality account, a ACID program begins with 2–3 vitolas across 40–60 cigars of opening depth, paired with the other brands that complement your overall humidor structure.

Because ACID is one of the core workhorse brands in the category, it's almost always part of the MDC opening-proposal for any new account - the exact SKUs and depth vary by whether you're running a bar-led hospitality program, a dedicated cigar lounge, or a pro-shop display. Your rep builds the proposal fast once you apply, with real numbers keyed to your venue.
