Today and tomorrow, the Fuente & Meerapfel Present: Meet The Professor live show is hosting a 26-hour live stream. At 9:00 P.M. EDT I will be hosting the show.

Because trying to do anything for 26 hours straight is not easy, the show has invited a variety of journalists to host the show for an hour or two at a time. My time slot is 9-10 P.M. EDT.

I will be joined by Alexandre Avellar and Liz Santos.

Avellar is the founder of Conexão Tabaco and Tudo Sobre Charuto, a Brazilian cigar news site. In 2020, he won the Hombre del Habano award in the communication category, the annual award given out by Habanos S.A. to various impactful figures in the world of Cuban cigars.

Santos, who goes by the moniker Remarkable Liz, is the founder of Remarkable Aficionadas—a group focused on female cigar smokers—and has a notable following with the cigar world on Instagram.

I am told that there’s a chance that other guests—i.e. cigar manufacturers—might stop in for a few minutes. You can watch below:

I am an editor and co-founder of halfwheel.com/Rueda Media, LLC. I previously co-founded and published TheCigarFeed, one of the two predecessors of halfwheel. I have written about the cigar industry for more than a decade, covering everything from product launches to regulation to M&A. In addition, I handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff here at halfwheel. I enjoy playing tennis, watching boxing, falling asleep to the Le Mans 24, wearing sweatshirts year-round and eating gyros. echte liebe.
