Serino Showing Off BYGONE at PCA 2022

A collaboration between Carson Serino of Serino Cigar Co.and Dave Imber of CigarClub.com is “Made to Honor Tradition.”

That cigar is BYGONE, a 5 1/2 x 48 parejo that is made with an Ecuadorian habano 2000 medio wrapper covering a Nicaraguan binder and a filler blend made up of tobaccos from Nicaragua and Peru. This is only the second time that the company has incorporated Peruvian tobacco into one of its blend, with the first being the Elenor Rose line that was released in 2021.

In a phone conversation, Carson Serino, Serino’s founder, told halfwheel that the blend is a collaboration between his company and Imber’s CigarClub.com, a cigar subscription website. According to Serino, the cigar is a “traditional Cuban-style blend” that is produced the La Corona Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Although a small number of boxes were shipped to CigarClub.com to put on the company’s website earlier this month, more are scheduled to ship to retailers around the country in late July.

The regular production release is priced at $9.95 each and packaged in 10-count boxes that will be on display at the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place July 9-12 in Las Vegas.
