Crowned Heads release a new core line at the 2024 PCA Trade Show called Coroneta. Coroneta is a derived from from the word coronet which is a small crown for lower royal ranks below monarchs from the 16th century. Each size of the Coroneta is named after the British heraldry that would wear the coronet, Earl, Baron, and Duke. Coroneta is a line which features both an Ecuadorian Habano and a San Andreas Maduro wrappers each using a unique blend. Something else unique about this new line is that each version is made at a different factory. The San Andreas version is being made at Casa Carrillo in the Dominican Republic by EP Carrillo. The Habano is made at Nicaraguan American Cigars, S.A. (NACSA) in Esteli, Nicaragua.

On Prime Time Jukebox Episode 133, it's our 17th installment of our Album Archaeology Series as we tackle the Soundtrack for the Motion Picture, Saturday Night Fever.
Much like an archaeologist digs and hunts for gems, on Album Archaeology, we dig into the Saturday Night Fever album. We go deep into each of the tracks of this album, looking at the music, lyrics, and stories behind this album. Most of the time, we have discussed a classic album; this time, we tackle a new album by a classic artist. It’s one we feel is already an instant classic.
We will also recap music and cigar news headlines
For this show, Coop smokes the E.P. Carrillo Pledge of Allegiance 2023 while Dave smokes the Rocky Patel Super Ligero.
Tune in to the premiere of Album Archaeology #17 - Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack on YouTube on Monday 7/1 at 8pm ET.
As always you can follow along with our Spotify Playlists:
