MDC + Kristoff
Why MDC stocks Kristoff
Kristoff is a shelf-builder's brand. One name gives you almost every profile a customer can ask for: Connecticut, Cameroon, Sumatra, Criollo, Corojo, San Andres, and Maduro, all with the brand's signature rustic look. That makes it easy for staff to guide a customer up and down the strength ladder without switching brands.
MDC carries 74 active Kristoff SKUs across its lines. The catalog's consistency is why it stays in our rotation: the blends are steady batch to batch, the presentation reads premium in any humidor, and the price sits in the sweet spot where venues make real margin without a hard sell.
“Kristoff 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 Kristoff
Kristoff works nearly everywhere, which is why it shows up in so many MDC opening proposals. Cigar lounges use the wrapper range to stock one brand across five strength slots. Steakhouses and hotel bars like the hand-made, old-world look for their after-dinner tray. Golf shops and liquor stores lean on the Connecticut and Original lines as reliable mid-priced movers. If a venue can only carry a handful of brands, a vertical Kristoff selection covers a lot of customers with one order.
The retail margin math for Kristoff
MDC's active Kristoff SKUs run roughly $69-$245 per box wholesale, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. Most of the core catalog clusters in the middle of that band, which puts finished retail right in the range where premium-cigar customers buy without hesitating.
How to build a Kristoff 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 Kristoff 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 Kristoff 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.
