#ELOSOFUMARTAKES - 121th Take with guest, Indiana Ortez of Ventura Cigar Company and Agrotobacos

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes is proud to welcome Indiana Ortez to sit in for our #Take121. If one can imagine the year 1969 - 25 years before the birth of our guest - Apollo 11 took off from the earth's surface departing the atmosphere 1 minute later and in 4 short days, we had the first man on the moon. While it may seem that the young - aged 26 - Indiana Ortez has had a career akin to that historic event, it hasn't been without hard work and sacrifice. We talked about journey, responsibility, and more.  We kick off by talking about her latest project with Ventura Cigar Company - Psyko Seven- Nicaraguan. Then we dive in about her family - the first and only 100% Nicaraguan cigar family in the industry. While there are some amazing women in this industry, there is no secret it is male-dominated, so we get Indiana's insights and thoughts about being a woman in this industry. And of course, we go into her blending process.  Finally some thoughts on PCA's Cancellation, plans for 2020, and the introduction of a brand new segment! Enjoy!

#TakeoftheTake: (On being a woman in the industry) "You won't receive respect unless you respect yourself...I have a responsibility to my family and the people of Nicaragua to work hard and stay focused."
