Gispert
The core line - a smooth, mild-to-medium Honduran-made blend under the historic Cuban marque. A dependable everyday premium.
Gispert is a Cuban-heritage marque produced today in Honduras - a smooth, mild-to-medium cigar that punches above its price. MDC distributes Gispert to hospitality and retail partners who want heritage character without a premium-tier cost.
Gispert is the quiet overachiever on our line card. The name goes back to old Cuba, the modern production comes out of Honduras, and the smoke itself is smooth and easygoing - the kind of cigar a guest finishes and orders again. It gives a humidor heritage credibility at a price the value-conscious buyer says yes to.
MDC keeps 5 active Gispert SKUs in rotation. It covers the mild-to-medium slot in most programs, and it pairs well with fuller Honduran and Cuban-heritage brands so the shelf tells a complete story.
“Gispert 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 Gispert catalog is in our standing rotation - we curate to what actually moves at retail. These are the core lines we keep in depth.
The core line - a smooth, mild-to-medium Honduran-made blend under the historic Cuban marque. A dependable everyday premium.
The fuller-bodied take on the marque - more strength and darker flavor for guests who want the heritage name with extra muscle.
Gispert's smooth core profile fits golf pro shops, hotel bars, liquor stores, and resort programs - anywhere the average buyer is an occasional smoker who still wants a real, well-made cigar. The Intenso side of the marque gives steakhouses and cigar lounges a fuller option under the same recognizable band, which makes staff recommendations simple: same name, pick your strength.
MDC's active Gispert SKUs run roughly $159-$207 per box wholesale, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. With the generous cigar counts these boxes carry, per-stick economics stay in the everyday-premium zone where volume lives. Your rep quotes exact per-vitola numbers before you commit.
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 Gispert 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 Gispert 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 Gispert in MDC programs: H Upmann , Romeo Y Julieta , Los Statos Deluxe , Hoyo De Monterrey .
