    #ELOsoFumarTakes #357thTake featuring Casey Haugen from Crux Cigars

    #ELOsoFumarTakes #357thTake   This week we welcomes the return of special guest — Casey Haugen of Crux Cigars — for a deep dive into one of the boutique brands that has quietly built a loyal following among cigar smokers.   Founded in 2014 by Jeff and Casey Haugen, Crux Cigars was born from a passion for premium tobacco and the pursuit of crafting cigars that balance tradition, quality, and a unique smoking experience.  From blends like Bull & Bear and Epicure to their annual Limitada releases, the brand has earned recognition for its craftsmanship and carefully sourced tobaccos produced in Nicaragua.    On this episode we’ll talk about the evolution of the Crux brand, the philosophy behind “finding your crux,” the stories behind some of their blends, and what it takes to build a boutique cigar company in today’s industry. Expect plenty of cigar talk, industry insights, and a few stories you probably haven’t heard before. Grab a cigar, pour a drink, and join us for #357thTake.   #ELOsoFumarTakes #CruxCigars #FindYourCrux #PremiumCigars #CigarPodcast #BoutiqueCigars

    #ELOSOFUMARTAKES - 356th Take - with Litto Gomez, Jr. of La Flor Dominicana

    #ELOsoFumarTakes #356thTake This week, we’re honored to welcome a next-generation voice in premium cigars — Litto Gomez Jr., son of founder Litto Gomez and Vice President of Sales at La Flor Dominicana. From the tobacco fields of the Dominican Republic to the boardroom — and back to the blending table — Litto Jr. is helping shape the future of one of the most respected boutique cigar houses in the world.   We’ll dive into: • His journey growing up inside LFD and stepping into leadership • The story behind blending Solis — a deeply personal project that challenged him to define his own palate • How LFD is redefining full-flavor, medium-bodied cigars without sacrificing strength • Why staying family-owned, hands-on, and quality-driven still matters in a world chasing scale • What’s next for LFD as the torch is passed to the next generation   Founded in 1994, LFD built its name by doing things differently — growing its own tobacco, embracing bold profiles, and making decisions the old-school way… often over coffee at the family table. Now, the legacy continues with a new perspective grounded in tradition.   If you appreciate cigars with power, purpose, and personality — this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Tap in. Light up. Let’s take it deeper.   #ELOsoFumarTakes #356thTake #LaFlorDominicana #LFD #BoutiqueCigars #FamilyLegacy
