IPCPR 2017: Serino Cigar Co.

Sporting a new expanded booth this year, Serino Cigar Co. had just one new release for this year’s show.

The company is owned by the same group behind APS Distributors, LLC.

Serino Wayfarer

The Wayfarer is the personal blend of Carson Serino, the company’s vice president, which was first conceptualized on a trip that he took to Iceland. Blend-wise, it incorporates an Ecuadorian corojo ’99 wrapper, Nicaraguan binder from the Jalapa region and Nicaraguan fillers. It is being released in six different vitolas. Four of those sizes — the Corona Gorda, Robusto, Sublime and The 109 — will be regular production releases shipping in August, while the Dalia and Corona vitolas will be limited to 300 boxes of 20 and will ship in the fall and winter respectively.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
