Trinidad Espiritu
The line that relaunched the marque. Bold, flavorful, and instantly recognizable on a menu.
Trinidad is one of the most recognized names in cigars, and the modern non-Cuban Trinidad Espiritu series has made the marque a strong seller in the U.S. market. MDC distributes the Espiritu series and the Tommy Bahama Island Collection to hospitality and retail partners nationwide.
The Trinidad name does a lot of work on its own. Guests recognize it, ask for it, and trust it - and the modern Espiritu series backs the name up with well-made, flavorful blends. For a venue, that combination is gold: a label that needs no introduction, at a wholesale cost that leaves real margin on the table.
MDC keeps 21 active Trinidad SKUs in rotation, covering the original Espiritu plus the Series 2 and Series 3 releases, the Miami Belicoso, and the Tommy Bahama Island Collection. Each Espiritu series has its own blend character, so an account can carry two or three and give guests a genuine reason to work through the range.
“Trinidad 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 Trinidad catalog is in our standing rotation - we curate to what actually moves at retail. These are the core lines we keep in depth.
The line that relaunched the marque. Bold, flavorful, and instantly recognizable on a menu.
The second blend in the series, with its own distinct profile. Full vitola coverage from robusto to fundador.
The third chapter - a different wrapper and character. Also available in a 100-count bulk toro for high-volume accounts.
The resort-ready collaboration line. A natural fit for beach clubs, resorts, and vacation-market retail.
Trinidad's portfolio runs medium-to-full and sits in the heart of the workhorse price band, which makes it one of the most flexible brands MDC carries. Casino bars and steakhouses use Espiritu as a recognizable-name anchor. Liquor stores move it off the shelf on label recognition alone. Resorts and coastal venues lean on the Tommy Bahama Island Collection, which is practically merchandised for that market. And the 100-count bulk toro makes Trinidad one of the easiest brands to run in high-volume banquet and event programs.
MDC's active Trinidad SKUs run roughly $46–$579 per box wholesale - a wide range because it spans a 5-count sampler at the bottom and a 100-count bulk box at the top. Most standard 20-count Espiritu boxes cluster in the low-to-mid $200s. Venues typically retail at 1.8x–2.5x wholesale, which puts a single Espiritu stick in a very sellable premium range for a name this recognizable.
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 Trinidad 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 Trinidad 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 Trinidad in MDC programs: Montecristo , Romeo Y Julieta , H Upmann , Saint Luis Rey .
