For Prime Time Special Edition 78, we are honored to welcome the one and only David Garofalo to the show. Dave not only loves cigars, he wears many hats in the cigar industry and we’ll talk to him about the journey he has taken.
We will also have another “One Must Go” segment tonight, where we will present three choices that have “united” as a common theme, but one will have to go. Which choice is eliminated is something we will debate. Plus our live audience was given another shot to win an Aging Room cutter and lighter set.
Finally, there are a lot of “alternative events” going on in place of the cancelled Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. We’ll break them down and evaluate how well the industry is doing.

Over the past few weeks, Prime Time Jukebox has curated a “Battle of the Bands” Tournament. For this tournament, Dave and Coop have each picked 16 musical artists. We seeded them from 1 to 16 and placed each of 16 teams into brackets – NCAA Tournament Style. Our fans have had an opportunity to vote on these matchups. The battle whittled down, and it was Led Zeppelin that won Dave’s side of the bracket while Pink Floyd won Coop’s. This week the two winners face off in a head to head matchup.
On this episode we preview the big championship matchup between Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Dave and Coop will make their cases, and Seth Geise of Developing Palates will provide additional analysis.
In addition, we will pay tribute to two musicians who have passed away since our last episode – Bonnie Pointer and Joey Image.
