Wholesale Garo cigars - distributed by MDC.

Garo is a family-run boutique cigar house whose catalog reads like its own history - 20th, 25th, and 30th Anniversary lines sit alongside the 1887 Box Press, Maduro Especial, and the Los Lectores series. MDC keeps the working core of the catalog in rotation.

Why MDC stocks Garo

Garo is the kind of brand that builds regulars. It doesn't lean on national advertising - it leans on blends that have kept a loyal following long enough to justify three decades of anniversary releases. For a venue, that translates into a discovery brand with staying power: something new for your customers that won't vanish from the catalog next year.

MDC carries 37 active Garo SKUs across its lines, from the everyday Blue series to the anniversary tiers and the Maduro Especial. Box formats run small and varied - great for testing a facing without a big opening commitment. Your rep will pick the handful of lines that fit your crowd and rotate from there.

“Garo 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 Garo

Venue Fit

Which venues stock Garo

Garo's range runs from smooth everyday blends to rich maduros, with most of the catalog in approachable medium territory. It fits best in venues that curate: cigar lounges and private clubs that want a boutique story, and full-service liquor stores where a staff pick moves product. The smaller box counts and sampler formats also make Garo an easy brand for golf shops and hotel bars to trial without tying up humidor space.

The retail margin math for Garo

MDC's active Garo SKUs run roughly $44-$289 per box wholesale depending on the line and vitola, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. Because many boxes come in smaller counts, the cash outlay per facing stays low even at the premium end. Your rep quotes exact account pricing before you commit.

How to build a Garo 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 Garo 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 Garo 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.
