After 15 years in the movie rental business, Anthony Serino sells his video store chain to follow his passion for fine cigars. In the beginning, Serino began curating and selling naked cigars manufactured in Miami to a small group of retailers in the South Florida area.

After the development of many locally loved cigar blends at My Cigar Club, Serino sought a way to increase distribution of both his cigars and those of other heralded cigar manufacturers in the industry. APS Distributors was born, distributing his and his partners' cigars across the country.

In 2015, Anthony welcomed his son Carson into the family business. Carson growing up spent most days after school working at My Cigar Club learning about cigars and the industry. Upon graduating from The Florida State University, Carson apprenticed at the renowned La Corona Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. He then joined his father to further develop cigar blends. The Serino Royale line was formally launched.
