Serino: The Expat Passport Cigars

Originally, father-and-son duo Anthony and Carson Serino had no intention of releasing The Expat as a regular production cigar. Instead, its origins began simply as a cigar blended for a family friend's destination wedding — hence the name. This Passport vitola was the size used for that wedding, and it features the same Ecuadorian 2000 Habano Oscuro wrapper, Nicaraguan Criollo '98 binder from Jalapa, and Nicaraguan Criollo '98 fillers from Estelí; however, the Serinos have added Pennsylvania Broadleaf to the original's filler blend, lending the regular-production version a bit more strength and boldness. Marked by a pigtail cap, shaggy foot, and budget-friendly price, The Expat is among the best candidates for an all-day, everyday smoke.
