An annual tradition continues Prime Time Jukebox, the Dedications Show for 2024.
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 2023.
We will also have music news and news from the recent Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show.
As always you can follow along with our Spotify Playlists:
