#ELOSOFUMARTAKES - 133rd Take with guest Nick Melillo of Foundation Cigar Company

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes the one and only Nick~R~Agua of Foundation Cigar Company to sit down for #Take133. The first son of Connecticut and the Chief of Broadleaf will bring his incredible take on everything from music to cigars to starting a cigar company.  We dive into the history behind Tabernacle and an honor bestowed upon Nick by the Ethiopian Crown Council.  We also peel back some layers with Nick's relationship with "Jordy" who just happens to be an Earl in the English Court.  We also explore an angle that not one other person in the cigar industry has acknowledged in the battle we've wage with the FDA .  United Cigar's One Must Go is painful, as Nick is forced to pick between items that are his staple. It's a unique journey and we stroll down memory lane and look to the future with Nick! Enjoy!

To the #ELOsoFumarTakes community, I have decided to take part in a survey that is aimed at capturing the influence of our podcast, in addition to other Cigar Industry media. I ask you, humbly, to take a few minutes and take part in this survey. Two major points:

1) No personal info will be asked for or given by you
2) THE GOAL: to see what, if any, influence and impact Cigar Media has on the way you, the consumer, views and takes part in this industry we love.

It would honor me to hear and see your thoughts. Thank you in advance.
