After years of working for some of the industry's large and corporate giants, the new family man is bringing back his talents to the family-owned icon La Flor Dominicana.

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes is proud to welcome the return of Dave Garofalo of 2GuysCigars.com, Cigar Authority podcast, and United Cigar Group. Our 329thTake will be one to attend. Dave is never short on opinions, but I love chatting with him because of his indelible personality. Those opinions are backed by 40 years of retail and cigar industry wisdom. And we aim to hear straight from the man himself. It'll be one to sit down and watch. Enjoy!

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes another first-time guest for our #328thTake. A long time ago, Tyler Jeffery was the first to ever tell me in-person that he watched this show. It was a surreal moment. Fast forward a few years, and that funny, curious, passionate 'kid' took his best qualities and chased a dream. He's worked hard, traveled on his own dime, and learned tons. With a factory and distributor now in his corner, he's poised to make a name for himself. Enjoy!

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes first time guest - Lou Cross of Lure Cigars to sit down for #Take327! It’s been great to observe Lou’s journey. From long time cigar fan and supporter of this podcast to launching his own brand! In 18 months, Lou has come out swinging and it’s all thanks to a lifetime love fishing and cigars. We’ll take a walk along his journey of how he went from fanboy to a PCA Trade Show Exhibitor this year

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes returns for our #326thTake! The Premium Cigar Association put on an amazing Trade Show in New Orleans two weeks ago. The Cigar Coop Coalition will litigate most of it this coming Tuesday on Prime Time Special Edition. But tonight, Tripp Waldrop and I weigh in on eating and pairing our way through New Orleans! We brought a pairing home for you to witness and we look back at the epic meals, cocktails, venues. All thing culinary - New Orleans style. Enjoy!

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes continues to gear up for the upcoming PCA Tradeshow in New Orleans. We've asked William Cooper and Erron Nielsen to return for our #325thTake. We'll explore the "hype" around a Tradeshow release. Why does it matter? When does it matter most to release a cigar? But, I'm really excited to look back at previous cigars that had all the hype. Did they live up to deliver expectations? Let's take a look at some historical data and discuss and debate. Enjoy!!!
