Prime Time Jukebox Episode 131 Audio: Odd Couples

On Prime Time Jukebox Episode 131, we present Odd Couples. For this exercise we hypothetically bring two musicians together from different genres or styles. We then figure out how some songs would sound in each other’s genre.

We also have music news, cigar news, our pairing of the week, the Developing Palates Review of the Week, and Dave’s New Music 45.

In addition, we will also recap music and cigar news headlines.

For this show Dave smoked the AVO Maduro No.2 and Coop smoked the CLE PCA Exclusive 2023 Robusto.

As always you can follow along with our Spotify Playlists:

The Smoking Syndicate: Tatuaje Cojonu 2015 Habano (Audio)

The Tatuaje Cojonu line was born out of the Seleccion de Cazadore (aka Brown Label) line where Tatuaje owner, Pete Johnson, asked master blender, Don Pepin Garcia to make a stronger blend.  The name came from Don Pepin saying that the blend had “cojonu”, Cuban slang for “cojones” or “balls”.  The name stuck and Pete Johnson decided to release the line in a new vitola every three years.  In 2012, Pete Johnson put the line in hiatus, but it returned in 2021.  He released the Cojonu 2015 and the 2018 in 2022 and 2023 respectively and called them the “Lost Years”.

• Vitola: Double Robusto
• Size: 5 x 55
• Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
• Binder: Nicaraguan
• Filler: Nicaraguan
• Country of Origin: Nicaragua
• Factory: My Father S.A.
