#ELOsoFumarTakes

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes Lee Marsh of Stolen Throne Cigars for #Take166. From the city that gave you Edgar Allan Poe, comes Marsh who's teamed up with Noel Rojas to bring a young, up & coming boutique brand to market. The brand's inception came from an off-the-cuff challenge and the cigar emerged from a hands on approach alongside Rojas. We explore the story of Marsh. Enjoy!

 

For #Take166, Lee and I are spotlighting Cane Corso Rescue!  They're less than $1000 from their goal of $20,000 for these beautiful animals in need.  Please consider donating!

Representing Alec & Bradley, Micallef Cigars, and Dissident, we'll look back at the crazy 12 months we've had. If you look back at #Take115 you'll notice how we may not have foreseen what was in front us, in a lof of ways we did. It'll be great to look back on what the last 12 months has taught us and what our guests' respective companies are continuing to do 12 months into our "2 week shelter in place". Enjoy!

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes the return of Matt Tye and Tripp Waldrop of How Bout That Cigar & Cigar Federation for our #164thTake. It's time to talk perfect pairings. What's the best beer to pair with a cigar? How about spirit? Food? You name it, we discuss how, what, when, and where of our favorites. Not enough? we thought you'd say that. We "nerd out" even more Marvel vs DC, Star Wars vs Star Trek and more. What's cooler? The nerds decide. Plus, we kick things off with some special cigars. It's all right here. Enjoy!

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes Amanda Micallef of Micallef Cigars for our #160thTake. A lot of news in the Micallef corner the past few weeks/days and we'll certainly get to that. But, as we always do, we'll be diving into the story, behind the story. Amanda has had quite the journey and we'll be discovering it all together.  From "ditching" high school to work with James Garner and Sissy Spacek on film to founding a groundbreaking platform for social media content (to the say the least) for women, Amanda has had the journey.  She brings this influence to Micallef Cigars and literally overnight changes the fabric of company culture and mission.  Enjoy!

 

For this occasion, Amanda and I are spotlighting Women for Women International.
