An annual tradition continues Prime Time Jukebox, the Dedications Show for 2023
The Dedications Show was started by Dave Burck on Cigar Jukebox. Each year, listeners would get the opportunity to submit a dedication song in honor of a loved one or someone special who has passed away.
A tradition on the Dedications Show is to light up a Las Calaveras Cigar by Crowned Heads. Las Calaveras is an annual limited edition cigar that pays homage to those who have passed away over the past year. As opposed to being a mournful symbol, it is intended to be a celebration of those lives and remembrances of those who are no longer with us. We will smoke the Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2022.
Tonight’s playlist has been primarily generated by our audience who was kind enough to submit their dedications.

This year the Battle of the Bands Competition turns to the 1980s.
While last year we selected artists, this year we have decided to focus on albums - specifically from the decade of the 1980s. Hector Alfonso of Espinosa Cigars and John McTavish of Developing Palates are once again back ad participating.
The concept works as follows: Dave, Coop, Hector, and John will each pick eight albums. The selections will occur via a "Draft." Once the albums are selected, each participant will seed them, place them into brackets and you will decide who should move on. We will go through each round on Twitter, until there is a winner from each of the four brackets. From that point, the four bracket winners will square off in a final four.
The tournament commences the week of March 27th with two matchups a day to vote on. Each vote will be eligible to compete to win one of three special prizes that will be announced
For this show, Hector smokes the Knuckle Sandwich 55, John smokes a RoMa Craft CroMagnon, Dave smokes the Rocky Patel Winter Collection Robusto, and Coop smokes the Espinosa Sarsaparilla.
Because there are 32 albums drafted, there is no playlist for this episode.

Late last year, headlines were made when it was announced that a collaboration between Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate, Metallica’s James Hatfield, and Blackened Whiskey’s Rob Dietrich was happening. That collaboration would be the Blackened M81 cigar. Tonight we talk to one of the principals in this project, Rob Dietrich.
Rob is the Master Distiller and Blender and Blackened Whiskey. We’ll learn about his story, his journey in the whiskey business, and what it was like to participate in the M81 project.
In addition, we will have our Cattle Baron Steak Question of the Day, Alec Bradley Live True, Tabacalera USA, and Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Deliberation Segment.
