Aladino Original Corojo
The flagship. Honduran corojo grown on the family farms - medium-bodied, naturally sweet, old-school profile.
Aladino is the Eiroa family's tribute to old-school Honduran cigar making - corojo tobacco grown on their own farms and rolled the traditional way. MDC keeps the core Aladino catalog in rotation, from the mild Connecticut up through the Corojo Reserva.
Aladino earns its spot in the MDC rotation the simple way: it sells through. The Eiroa family grows its own corojo tobacco in Honduras, and that farm-to-factory control shows up in the consistency of every box we ship. Venues that put Aladino in the humidor tend to reorder it.
MDC carries 33 active Aladino SKUs across its lines - the Original Corojo, the richer Corojo Reserva, plus the Cameroon, Connecticut, and Maduro blends. That spread lets one brand cover a mild-to-full range on your menu without adding a second vendor conversation.
“Aladino 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.”
Not every SKU in the Aladino catalog is in our standing rotation - we curate to what actually moves at retail. These are the core lines we keep in depth.
The flagship. Honduran corojo grown on the family farms - medium-bodied, naturally sweet, old-school profile.
The step-up corojo blend. Richer and rounder than the Original - a natural upgrade cigar for the same customer.
Cameroon wrapper over Honduran filler. Toasty, mild-to-medium, and easy to hand-sell.
The mild entry point in the portfolio. A daytime and golf-course pick that keeps new smokers comfortable.
Darker, sweeter profile, including box-pressed vitolas. Steakhouse and after-dinner territory.
Aladino works best where guests appreciate a traditional cigar without a boutique price tag. The Connecticut and Cameroon blends fit golf pro shops and hotel bars that need approachable sticks; the Original Corojo and Maduro carry steakhouses and cigar lounges where guests want more body; and the Corojo Reserva gives casino bars and private clubs a clean upgrade path on the same brand. Liquor stores do well with the Original Corojo as a shelf staple.
MDC's active Aladino SKUs run roughly $116-$338 per box wholesale depending on the line and vitola, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. That puts most Aladino sticks in a comfortable mid-premium retail band - strong margin per stick without pricing out the everyday smoker. Your rep quotes exact numbers for your account before you commit.
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 Aladino 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 Aladino 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.
