Why MDC stocks DBL
Every good humidor needs a discovery brand - the cigar a regular hasn't seen at every other shop, priced fairly and built well. DBL fills that slot. The Habano El Rey and Maduro lines deliver genuine Dominican character, and the odder vitolas - perfectos, big-ring La Tabla, the Formula range - give a display personality that the national brands can't.
MDC carries 38 active DBL SKUs across its lines, which is real depth for a boutique. That means your rep can rotate DBL SKUs seasonally to keep the discovery shelf fresh without re-training your staff on a new brand every quarter. It has stayed in our rotation for one reason: the accounts that stock it reorder it.
“DBL 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.”

Venue Fit
Which venues stock DBL
DBL fits venues that curate rather than just stock: cigar lounges, private clubs, and full-service liquor stores where staff talk to customers. The portfolio leans medium-to-full with a strong maduro presence, so it slots naturally into evening and after-dinner rotations at steakhouses and casino bars as the "ask your server about this one" pick. It's less about walk-in name recognition and more about giving your regulars something new to come back for.
The retail margin math for DBL
MDC's active DBL SKUs run roughly $102-$327 per box wholesale depending on the line and vitola, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. Boutique brands without national advertising tend to hold the upper end of that markup comfortably, since customers aren't price-checking them against a chain store. Your rep quotes exact account numbers up front.
How to build a DBL 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 DBL 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 DBL 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.
