Perdomo did not have a new cigar at the 2024 PCA Trade Show, but this company has been on a roll since the 2023 PCA Trade Show. It was at the 2023 PCA when Perdomo unveiled its Perdomo 30th Anniversary line to the world. The cigar shipped to retailers in November and has been a monster release for the company. In fact, the Perdomo 30th Anniversary release was one of the Top 12 Stories on Cigar Coop for 2023. Perdomo Cigars would feature the 30th Anniversary at the 2024 PCA Trade Show.

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:
