Prime Time Jukebox Episode 90 – Rolling Stone Top 500 Songs Part 10: 50 to 1
On Episode 90 of Prime Time Jukebox, we complete our recap of Rolling Stone Magazine’s recent refresh of their Top 500 songs of all time. This is a project we started back in October 2021. This segment will cover songs 50 to 1 and Dave and Coop will go through some of their favorites that made the list, and assess how fairly these favorites were ranked.
Plus we cover a wide array of both music and cigar news, including the passing of Trugoy the Dove. We will weigh in on the banter of the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Of course, we will discuss the Developing Palates Review of the Week too.
For this show, Dave smokes the Luciano Cigars’ Maria Lucia. Coop is unable to smoke due to a remote location.

As is now a tradition on Cigar Coop, we close out our 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Coverage at the Tatuaje Cigars booth. This year, it was “33 Minutes with Pete Johnson,” as we discussed a wide range of cigar and industry topics. Johnson is one of the most ardent supporters of the PCA, so it’s no surprise he has brought his A-game to the show regarding releases. And to make things more exciting, Tatuaje is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023. We would all present Pete Johnson with two special awards.

From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Craig Cunningham of Esteban Carreras Cigars
When it comes to Esteban Carreras Cigars, the company tends to focus its energy on one new release a year, and that new release always makes its debut at the PCA/IPCPR Trade Show. In addition, the company remains quite tight-lipped on what that new release is until the doors of the Trade Show open. For 2021, Esteban Carreras's release commemorates ten years of the line that many will say put the company on the map - that cigar is the Chupa Cabra 10th Anniversary.

We are kicking off our coverage of the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show a little different. This video was recorded at the Cigar Media Compound the evening the Trade Show closed. Luciano Meirelles of Ace Prime came over with a library of tobacco and held an impromptu blending seminar.
In this video Luciano covers the best practices constructing and deconstructing a blend as well as what to look for when tasting a blend. This was such an educational session, we are kicking this off with our coverage!
The #22 2023 Cigar of the Year is the E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Sidekick. The Allegiance is the fourth installment of the Perez-Carrillo line. The Allegiance is a cigar that Ernesto Perez-Carrillo blended, but it is being produced from Oliva’s TABOLISA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. It was the second project by E.P. Carrillo to be produced outside its Tabacalera La Alianza factory. Other projects we have seen are the E.P. Carrillo INCH Nicaragua out of Plasencia and the Short Run 2023 out of Oscar Valladares’ factory. The name Allegiance pays homage to the many partnerships and alliances the Perez-Carrillo family has forged over the years. In the case of the Allegiance, the partnership is strong, as Oliva had one of its Cuba Aliados projects produced at Tabacelrera La Alianza.
Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-r7t
Note: On this audio/video recording, we incorrectly said E.P. Carrillo had eight appearances on the Countdown. In reality it was nine.
Dave and Coop bring an interesting exercise to Episode 79 of Prime Time Jukebox. The concept involves each host picking ten tracks that the other host should absolutely hear. These could be personal favorites and/or songs that might click with the other’s musical taste. Each will present the ten songs to the other, and on a subsequent show we will see how each host enjoyed those tracks.
Plus we cover a wide array of both music and cigar news.
For this show, Dave smokes the My Father Le Bijou 1922 Petit Robusto and Coop was not able to smoke.
