This episode, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes Steve Saka to sit down for our #346thTake. It’s our annual visit with the man, myth, and legend. The Cigar Curmudgeon will no doubt have some self-deprecation to administer. But, fear not, for this Star is no match for the wits of El Oso, as I plan to get him to enjoy himself despite his fierce denials. This Liga Legend may even crack a smile. You never know. Enjoy!

It’s an annual tradition, this week #ELOsoFumarTakes celebrates its host’s birthday! Bear is getting older and older each year and despite Steve Saka’s opinion - we love to celebrate birthdays. Now, Steve cannot join us this year for this episode, but that doesn’t mean we’re shying away from celebrating or awesome guests. My good friends Jon Carney and Ben Lee stop by to make this a birthday one we won’t forget! Enjoy!

#ELOsoFumarTakes is pleased to welcome Law Ream of Davidoff Cigars and Ambassador of all things Zino to sit down for our #342ndTake! From media member to Brand Ambassador. From PCA Director look-alike to re-igniting a brand named for one of the industry’s icons. It’s another fun journey to explore. Enjoy!

This episode, #ELOsoFumarTakes is pleased to welcome first time guest Kevin Shahan of Cigar Prop fame and glory. Kevin’s energy and enthusiasm is always at a level 10, but his zany antics are a refreshing balance of charm and sincerity. And while his July 4th attire is something I’d rather not see again, personally, his drive and love for the industry has formed a journey I can’t wait to unfold. Enjoy!!

#ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes the return of Matt Tye of How Bout That Cigar to sit down for our #338thTake. It’s going to be a rock’em, sock’em good time. We’ll look back on the last few years together as media brands that “came up together”. What’s surprised us? What hasn’t? It all starts here at 9:30pm Central. Enjoy!

#ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes the return of John McTavish to sit down for our #337thTake. The ‘Cigar Surgeon’ operates at a different standard than most. As a member of the renowned Developing Palates team, every meticulous detail is recorded, analyzed and brought to bear against arguably the highest standard within the industry’s media. Don’t believe me? Tune in tomorrow night as we walk through a PhD level and journey that is as fascinating as it is discerning. Enjoy!
