Why MDC stocks Ted's
Ted's solves a real problem for bar-led venues: the guest who orders a bourbon and wants a cigar to match. A bourbon-seasoned Ted's is the easiest cigar pairing sell in hospitality - the server doesn't need to explain wrappers or origins, just "this cigar is seasoned with bourbon." That one sentence closes the sale.
MDC keeps 21 active Ted's SKUs in rotation, spanning the Bourbon, Agave, Cognac, Rhum, Hopz, Forty Creek, and The Glen seasoned lines plus traditional Maduro and Connecticut Shade options - and the It's A Boy / It's A Girl celebration cigars that gift shops and liquor stores quietly sell year-round. Three-count packs on the core seasoned lines make it easy to merchandise at the register.
“Ted's 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 Ted's
Ted's is built for spirit-led venues. Whiskey bars, bourbon lounges, and steakhouse bar programs are the natural home - each seasoned line maps directly to a shelf of bottles the venue already pours. Liquor stores do especially well with Ted's because the cigar merchandises next to the spirit that inspired it, and the 3-count packs work as impulse buys at checkout. Golf shops and gift retailers round out the fit with the celebration cigars and approachable traditional lines.
The retail margin math for Ted's
MDC's active Ted's SKUs run roughly $27–$238 per box wholesale - the low end is the 3-count register packs, and full 25-count boxes of the seasoned lines sit at the top. Venues typically retail at 1.8x–2.5x wholesale, and the pairing story supports healthy per-stick pricing: a cigar sold alongside a $15 pour of bourbon doesn't get price-shopped the way a shelf cigar does.
How to build a Ted's 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 Ted's 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 Ted's 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.
