A Look Ahead We have some exciting things moving through the pipeline as we head toward the summer heat. We are currently evaluating new blends that lean into the "clean and bold" profile Marco V is known for, ensuring that every stick we release meets the standard set by my grandfather over a century ago.

There is a specific smell to April in Minnesota. It’s the scent of thawing earth, the first hint of green, and—for the Marco V community—the return of the outdoor smoke. After a winter spent tucked away in lounges or home dens, April is the month we reclaim our patios, our golf carts, and our "me time" under an open sky.

A Legacy of Opportunity Our story began with a moment of bold optimism in the face of uncertainty. In 1909, an Italian immigrant named Victor Vito stepped onto American soil with nothing but pennies and a vision. The first thing he did? He lit a cigar. To Victor, that cigar wasn't just tobacco; it was a stake in the ground. It was a celebration of the journey he had completed and a toast to the work that lay ahead.

Our flagship product at Marco V is our triple maduro cigars.   Triple maduro refers to cigars that have maduro leaves that make up the binder, wrapper, and filler of the cigar.   What separates our cigars from others is the unique nature of our leaves (sourcing and farming) combined with our proprietary aging, fermenting, and curing process.   Combine these together and we have the highest quality maduro leaves in the industry.
