#ELOSOFUMARTAKES - 138th Take with guest Laurel Tilley of General Cigar Company and National Brand Ambassador for Macanudo

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes Laurel Tilley of General Cigar Company and herald Brand Ambassador for Macanudo Cigars for our #138thTake. Macanudo is arguably the most popular cigar in the world. So, what's the challenge? Tilley and her team aren't thinking about today, they are shaping tomorrow by making Macanudo, despite its popularity - COOL AGAIN. So, grab your cup of tea (you read that right) and strap in for what will be an incredible take!  In the second half of the show, we open the door for a candid conversation about women in the industry.  Laurel certainly isn't the first woman in the industry, nor will she be the last, but it's about time we have this discussion on our show.  This may sound serious, but we have a lot of fun along the way.  Enjoy!

Candid Conversation about Women in the industry (1:28:00)

 

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.
