Street Tacos Al Pastor
The deepest-stocked blend in the MDC rotation - Robusto, Toro, Toro Grande, and Gordo. The natural anchor for a Street Tacos section.
Street Tacos is a Nicaraguan-made boutique brand whose taco-themed blend names hide genuinely well-built cigars. MDC stocks the Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Barbacoa blends across the core vitolas.
A name like Street Tacos gets a cigar picked up off the shelf. What keeps it selling is the tobacco - these are well-made Nicaraguan blends with real flavor, and each "taco" name marks a different profile. It is the rare novelty-adjacent brand that regulars actually come back to.
MDC carries 7 active Street Tacos SKUs across three blends: Al Pastor in four vitolas (Robusto through Toro Grande), plus Carnitas and Barbacoa in the core Robusto and Toro formats. All in 25-count units, so a venue can stock the full flavor lineup without a heavy first order.
“Street Tacos 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 Street Tacos catalog is in our standing rotation - we curate to what actually moves at retail. These are the core lines we keep in depth.

Street Tacos is built for venues with personality: cigar bars, taquerias-adjacent restaurant patios, casino bars, and liquor stores that like a shelf-talker brand. The blends run medium-plus in body - enough flavor to satisfy regular smokers - while the playful naming pulls in casual guests who might walk past a traditional label. It is also a natural fit anywhere tequila and mezcal sell well; the pairing story writes itself.
MDC's active Street Tacos SKUs run roughly $193-$219 per box wholesale in 25-count units, and venues typically retail at 1.8x-2.5x wholesale. That lands the per-stick price in the accessible-premium range - easy for a guest to try once, easy to make a habit.
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 Street Tacos 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 Street Tacos 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.
