This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes the entire Smokin' Tabacco Team to sit down for #Take182. Matthew Tabacco & Nicole Patrice have steadily, yet quickly built one of the rising Cigar Media outlets in the last two years. While plenty (understandably) took this last 18 months to find bearings, get reacquainted with life, try to find normalcy, these two folks attacked an opportunity. The answer? For Nicole, it was to co-build a great cigar media brand. For Matthew, well, there are some theories he took the year to wonder how on earth he could get his incredible partner to say yes to forever with him. The answer? Cigars, of course. We take a look at their journey together and apart. Enjoy!
For this occasion, Matt, Nicole, and I are spotlighting the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation.
