#ELOSOFUMARTAKES - 115th Take with guests, Ben Holt, Bradley Rubin & Dan Thompson of Dissident, Alec & Bradley, and Micallef Cigars

Happy Easter Everyone! This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes brings some very special guests for our #115thTake. We sit down with Benjamin Holt of Dissident Cigars, Dan Thompson of Micallef Cigars, and Bradley Rubin of Alec & Bradley Cigars.

Like the world, the Cigar Industry is a very different place than it was 3 weeks ago. Consumers are anxious over family obligations and job uncertainty. Retailers are having to close their doors or work on a very limited basis. And companies are in the middle of it all struggling on multiple fronts. We'll dive in with these three gentlemen to see how certain companies are combatting and uplifting all at once. 

With three unique curveball segments, we discuss everything from scientific labs, true love, past lives, and dead Japanese soldier remains.  It's all right here.  Enjoy!
