Although it did not have anything new at this year’s show, APS Distributors, LLC made a conscious effort to concentrate its efforts on supporting its core bundle releases that are already on the market.

In addition, the company had a number of different brands located inside its booth, including Serino Cigar Co.—which debuted at the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show and is owned by APS—and Bespoke Cigars, which was showing off its Dubara Palace Collection that consists of a trio of humidors.

 

Davidoff is the official sponsor of halfwheel's coverage of the 2018 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show.

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.
