#ELOSOFUMARTAKES - 131st Take with guest Scott Pearce of Premium Cigar Association.

This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes Executive Director Scott Pearce of Premium Cigar Association for our #131stTake. The PCA, much like the rest of the world, has had a roller coaster 2020. We dive in with the man who's tasked with a lot of responsibility. The Trade Show may be the cover girl, but lobbying for protection from government oversight is the heart of the story. But, in true #Takes fashion, we look for the story behind the story and behind the guest. We explore recent events like the trade show cancellation and PCA staff furloughs.  We have some fun along the way, breaking up the seriousness with a fun One Must Go segment centered around Pasta and finding out that Scott and I had similar days on March 20, 2010. In the second segment, Scott and I hash out an old issue that brings out the fire in me, which is Tobacco 21.  Scott also announces a huge piece of news that could spell relief in the coming days. Enjoy!

To the #ELOsoFumarTakes community, I have decided to take part in a survey that is aimed at capturing the influence of our podcast, in addition to other Cigar Industry media. I ask you, humbly, to take a few minutes and take part in this survey. Two major points:

1) No personal info will be asked for or given by you
2) THE GOAL: to see what, if any, influence and impact Cigar Media has on the way you, the consumer, views and takes part in this industry we love.

It would honor me to hear and see your thoughts. Thank you in advance.
