This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes the return of Juan Cancel of Protocol Cigars for our #163rdTake. It's been 133 Takes since we last saw Juan - and yes, he's still the King of the Finger-stirred cocktail. But, a lot has changed in the world of all things Protocol. From Pool Parties to new Partners, (Sir Robert) Peels to Paddy Wagons. We also get real with Juan has he talks about his service as a Pollice Officer and the division in our country right now when it comes to Law Enforcement. IT's all going down right here.
For this occasion, Juan and I will be spotlighting and raising awareness for Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

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.
