Why MDC stocks Zino
Zino is the rare brand that covers both ends of a menu with one name. Zino Nicaragua gives a venue Davidoff-family pedigree at an everyday price. Zino Platinum sits at the other pole - tubo-packed luxury cigars for the guest who wants the best thing in the case. Same band heritage, two very different jobs.
MDC keeps 20 active Zino SKUs in rotation: the Zino Nicaragua boxes and 5-packs, the Platinum Crown and Platinum Scepter ranges, and 100-count Zino cigarillos for register and minibar programs. Few brands let an account serve the $12 guest and the $60 guest without changing the story it tells.
“Zino 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 Zino
Zino's split personality maps cleanly to venue types. Casino high-limit rooms and luxury hotel lounges stock Platinum Crown and Scepter - the tubo packaging alone earns its spot in a display case, and the Davidoff association carries real weight with guests who know cigars. Meanwhile, Zino Nicaragua works everywhere a solid medium-bodied premium works: steakhouse bar menus, golf shops, and liquor stores that want a pedigree name without a luxury price. The cigarillos round out hotel minibar and register programs.
The retail margin math for Zino
MDC's active Zino SKUs run roughly $48–$469 per box wholesale - cigarillo bricks at the bottom, 10-count Platinum Crown tubos at the top, and Zino Nicaragua 25-count boxes in the affordable middle. Venues typically retail at 1.8x–2.5x wholesale. The Platinum lines support genuine luxury per-stick pricing, while Zino Nicaragua stays in the easy-yes premium band.
How to build a Zino 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 Zino 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 Zino 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.
