#ELOSOFUMARTAKES - 153rd Take with guest Rafael Nodal of Tabacalera USA and Boutique Blends

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes Rafael Nodal of Boutique Blends and Tabacalera USA, to sit down for our #153rdTake. With Cigar Aficionado picking their 2020 Number 1 Cigar of the Year this week, the torch will officially pass from Rafael Nodal back to a previous winner Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. We explore Rafael's work with the most iconic names in the industry.  Yes, we're talking brands like Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta, but also cigar makers as well.  Jochi Blanco, Nick Perdomo and AJ Fernandez.  We tackle this and more!

 

 

And for this occasion Rafael and I are raising money and awareness for Mental Health Foundation.

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.
