Wholesale Cusano cigars - distributed by MDC.

Cusano built its name on smooth, well-made Dominican cigars that punch above their price - most famously the Cusano 18, blended with aged Connecticut-seed tobacco. MDC distributes Cusano as a value-tier anchor for retail and hospitality accounts that need an easy, crowd-pleasing smoke on the shelf.

MDC + Cusano

Why MDC stocks Cusano

Every good humidor needs a smooth, affordable Dominican that anyone can enjoy - the cigar you hand a guest who says "nothing too strong." Cusano is that cigar for a lot of our accounts. The blends are mild to medium, the construction is consistent, and the price leaves room for healthy retail margin.

MDC carries 10 active Cusano SKUs across its lines. It earns its slot as the accessible entry point in a rotation: low ticket risk for the venue, low intimidation factor for the customer, and steady sell-through in between.

“Cusano 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 Cusano

Core Line-up

Cusano blends MDC distributes

Not every SKU in the Cusano 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

Cusano 18 Double Connecticut

The flagship - built around well-aged Connecticut-seed tobacco. Creamy, smooth, and mild-to-medium. The blend that put Cusano on the map.

02 Core Line

Cusano 18 Double Maduro

The darker sibling - a sweeter, richer maduro take on the 18 blend while staying approachable.

Venue Fit

Which venues stock Cusano

Cusano's mild-to-medium Dominican profile and low box cost make it a retail natural: liquor stores and golf pro shops can put it at a $12–$15 retail ticket and move it steadily to casual smokers. In hospitality, it covers the daytime and new-smoker slots - hotel pool bars, golf course beverage carts, and casino floors where guests want an easy smoke, not a challenge. Cigar lounges keep it as the recommendation for first-timers who walk in with a friend.

The retail margin math for Cusano

MDC's active Cusano SKUs run roughly $69–$116 per box wholesale, and venues typically retail at 1.8x–2.5x wholesale. That is one of the lowest-risk entry points on our line card - a full facing of Cusano costs less than a single box of many premium brands, which makes it an easy first-order inclusion for new accounts.

How to build a Cusano 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 Cusano 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 Cusano 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.
