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.

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes Sean Williams, Blender and National Brand Ambassador for Cohiba to sit down for our #152ndTake. The New Year gets kicked off with the "Coolest Man in the Industry". Williams' story starts in New Orleans as a child wanting to be an architect. Well, he may not be building structures, but he is building on a legacy's foundation at Cohiba. We reflect on the road that got him here in the first place and where it looks to be going. Enjoy!
