Wholesale Boneshaker cigars - distributed by MDC.

Boneshaker is a full-bodied Nicaraguan maduro brand with an unapologetic identity: dark wrappers, hefty ring gauges, and vitolas named after medieval weapons. It delivers big-cigar strength at a mid-tier price, which is why MDC keeps it in rotation for accounts with a serious full-bodied crowd.

Why MDC stocks Boneshaker

Every rotation needs a heavy hitter that does not carry a heavy price. Boneshaker is ours in the full-maduro lane: dark, strong, and generously sized, at a box cost well below the big-name Nicaraguan powerhouses. Full-bodied smokers find it fast and reorder it faster.

MDC carries 10 active Boneshaker SKUs across its lines. It fills the "strong and affordable" slot in our programs - the cigar a lounge recommends when a customer asks for something with muscle but does not want a premium-tier ticket.

“Boneshaker 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 Boneshaker

Core Line-up

Boneshaker blends MDC distributes

Not every SKU in the Boneshaker catalog is in our standing rotation - we curate to what actually moves at retail. These are the core lines we keep in depth.

01 Core Line

Boneshaker Maduro (core line)

The heart of the brand - a dark, full-bodied Nicaraguan maduro built in substantial ring gauges. Bold, earthy, and priced for repeat purchase.

02 Core Line

Boneshaker WarHammer

The best-known vitola in the lineup - a big, box-worthy stick that has become the signature of the brand for full-bodied smokers.

Venue Fit

Which venues stock Boneshaker

Boneshaker's portfolio is decisively full-bodied, so it fits venues with an experienced smoking crowd: cigar lounges, casino bars, and steakhouses where the after-dinner smoker wants strength and smoke output. The mid-tier price makes it a smart volume play for liquor stores with a maduro-loyal customer base. It is not the cigar for a beginner-heavy hotel pool bar - pair it with milder brands so your menu covers the whole curve.

The retail margin math for Boneshaker

MDC's active Boneshaker SKUs run roughly $105–$166 per box wholesale, and venues typically retail at 1.8x–2.5x wholesale. For a full-bodied Nicaraguan in large vitolas, that box range is aggressive - per-stick retail stays under the premium-maduro names while delivering comparable strength, which is the brand's whole pitch.

How to build a Boneshaker 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 Boneshaker 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 Boneshaker 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.
