Cuba Aliados
The revived core line - a rich, old-school blend honoring Rolando Reyes Sr.'s legacy, made with modern Honduran production standards.
Cuba Aliados carries the name of Rolando Reyes Sr., one of the most respected cigar makers of his generation. Revived with modern Honduran production, it's a flavorful old-school cigar with a real story behind it. MDC distributes Cuba Aliados to hospitality and retail partners nationwide.
Some brands have marketing stories. Cuba Aliados has a real one: Rolando Reyes Sr. was a genuine legend of the trade, and the revived brand honors his blending style with serious modern production out of Honduras. For a cigar lounge or steakhouse, that's a cigar your staff can talk about - and story sells sticks.
MDC keeps 5 active Cuba Aliados SKUs in rotation. It sits in the flavorful middle-to-upper part of a humidor and pairs naturally with the other Honduran heavyweights on our line card.
“Cuba Aliados 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 Cuba Aliados catalog is in our standing rotation - we curate to what actually moves at retail. These are the core lines we keep in depth.
The revived core line - a rich, old-school blend honoring Rolando Reyes Sr.'s legacy, made with modern Honduran production standards.
Cuba Aliados fits venues where guests appreciate a cigar with history: cigar lounges, steakhouses, casino bars, and specialty retail. The medium-to-full character rewards an intentional smoker, and the Reyes story gives staff an easy, honest talking point that doesn't require memorizing tasting notes. It's less of a fit for grab-and-go retail, where the story never gets told.
MDC's active Cuba Aliados SKUs run roughly $174-$208 per box wholesale, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. That positions single sticks in the solid premium range at retail - fair for the quality, with per-stick margin that makes the slot worthwhile. Your rep quotes exact numbers by vitola before you order.
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 Cuba Aliados 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 Cuba Aliados 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.
Other brands frequently paired with Cuba Aliados in MDC programs: Aladino , Eiroa , Punch , Hoyo De Monterrey . For the complete list of brands MDC distributes, see the wholesale cigar brands index.
