#ELOsoFumarTakes

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes turns 7!!! Our #311thTake promises a celebration you hardly ever see. Why? Because instead of celebrating the past - we look to the future! Seven burning questions for the next 7 years in the cigar industry. We've assembled William Cooper, George Brightman, Jay R. Davis, and honorary guest host - Tim Wong. 

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes commences our annual "Bear's Birthday Take". Tradition has returned as we welcome Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust and Juan Martinez of Joya de Nicaragua Cigars for our #310thTake! The last 41 years have been good to me, it's time to celebrate with great cigars and even better friends. Enjoy!
