Everyday-tier selections
The value end of the portfolio - boxes priced for volume venues and everyday smokers. The reorder engine of the brand.
Fermin Perez is one of the quieter names on MDC's line card - a brand our accounts stock for margin and steady sell-through rather than label prestige. MDC distributes it across a wide wholesale price band, from everyday boxes to premium-tier smokes.
Not every brand on a good shelf needs a famous name. Fermin Perez earns its place in the MDC rotation on the numbers: the cigars are well made, the boxes are priced to move, and accounts that try it tend to reorder it. It fills the workhorse slots in a humidor without competing for attention with your marquee brands.
MDC carries 15 active Fermin Perez SKUs. Because the brand spans one of the wider wholesale price bands in our catalog, your rep can slot it in at whatever tier your shelf actually needs - value, mid, or premium.
“Fermin Perez 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 Fermin Perez catalog is in our standing rotation - we curate to what actually moves at retail. These are the core lines we keep in depth.
The value end of the portfolio - boxes priced for volume venues and everyday smokers. The reorder engine of the brand.
The upper end of the range - fuller boxes for the top of the shelf. Your rep matches current SKUs and vitolas to your venue.
Because the Fermin Perez range starts near the bottom of the wholesale price scale and climbs into the premium tier, it fits volume-first venues best. Liquor stores and golf pro shops can use the everyday boxes as their high-turn staples. Casino bars and cigar lounges can slot the mid and upper SKUs in as house selections that protect margin. It is a supporting-cast brand by design - the kind that quietly makes the whole humidor's economics work.
MDC's active Fermin Perez SKUs run roughly $53-$219 per box wholesale, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. A $53 wholesale box supports roughly $95-$130 at retail across the box - genuine everyday pricing - while the $219 end supports a proper premium shelf position. Few single brands cover that much of the price ladder.
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 Fermin Perez 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 Fermin Perez 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.
