About this episode

Casey Haugen from Crux Cigars returns to discuss the evolution of the brand and insights into the boutique cigar industry.

#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
