## Resource

James and Jimmy welcome Amanda & Paul Wood of FatAsh Cigar Lounge in Ashland, Kentucky. We discuss Paul's new job as the GM of FatAsh and what he brought with him from his time as a sales rep for Luciano Cigars. Amanda talks about life with Paul on the road vs life with Paul working in the lounge. Amanda and Paul discuss women in the lounge and the culture that drives women to a lounge and the culture that keeps them coming back. Paul lets us in on how much work goes in to putting on an event like My Old Kentucky Herf, running a lounge, and what and who people can expect at this year's My Old Kentucky Herf (May 8th & 9th)! This episode revolves heavily around lounge culture, supporting brands vs support from brands, why some brands don't make it in humidors, and of course...MOKH!!!
