This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes back Kristoff Jarrid Trudeau of Kristoff Cigars for #Take170. The dapper New England transplant posted an infamous saying a little over a year ago. "I'd rather be learning about history than experiencing it." Enter the COVID-era. Kristoff Cigars under Glen Case & Trudeau's leadership stood firm, kept their team whole, and trudged on. I've been looking forward to having Trudeau back. Enjoy!
** Please pardon the echo in the first quarter of the show, we worked out some kinks and were able to recover.
For this occasion, Jarrid and I are spotlighting Khalsa Aid International, specifically for the Indian Farmers Protests. Learn more HERE.
