This week on Wheels, Deals, and Meals , we set up shop in one of our absolute favorite places on the planet: Blend Bar in The Woodlands. But this isn't just another look inside the humidors—today’s show is special because we are sitting down with Blend's new owner, Sol Scott . Sol’s story is a masterclass in combining high-level corporate precision with authentic hospitality. Named after the Spanish word for the sun, Sol spent over two decades navigating global logistics and supply chain strategies for ExxonMobil. In February, he took the ultimate entrepreneurial leap by acquiring Blend Bar—a world-renowned venue previously crowned the #1 cigar lounge in the world. Sol sits down to discuss the meticulous "white-glove" process of charring and lighting a perfect stick, the unmatched power of professional networking, and his vision for creating a premium sanctuary where every guest can completely disconnect from the noise and feel instantly known.
