Los Statos Deluxe
The core revived line - classic vitolas under vintage Cuban-style dress. An approachable, easy-smoking profile built for broad appeal.
Los Statos Deluxe is a Cuban-heritage brand name brought back for today's U.S. market - an approachable, well-made cigar with old-Havana curb appeal at a working price. MDC distributes Los Statos Deluxe to hospitality and retail partners nationwide.
Heritage names sell. A guest who knows nothing about cigars still responds to a label that looks like it walked out of old Havana, and Los Statos Deluxe delivers that shelf presence without a top-shelf price. That combination - recognizable style, accessible cost - is why it earns reorders in our accounts.
MDC keeps 5 active Los Statos Deluxe SKUs in rotation. It slots into the approachable middle of a humidor: an easy step up from the value tier, and an easy recommendation for guests who want something that feels classic.
“Los Statos Deluxe 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 Los Statos Deluxe 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 revived line - classic vitolas under vintage Cuban-style dress. An approachable, easy-smoking profile built for broad appeal.
Los Statos Deluxe plays best where atmosphere is part of the sale: steakhouses, casino bars, hotel lounges, and cigar bars that want a heritage look in the mid-price slot. The approachable profile means staff can recommend it to occasional smokers without a briefing, and the vintage branding photographs well on a menu or a display humidor. Liquor stores use it as a step-up option above the bundle tier.
MDC's active Los Statos Deluxe SKUs run roughly $156-$173 per box wholesale, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. That lands single sticks in the mid-tier retail range - the zone where most impulse and occasion purchases happen. Your rep quotes exact per-vitola numbers before you commit to anything.
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 Los Statos Deluxe 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 Los Statos Deluxe 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.
