Prime Time Jukebox Episode 188 Audio: Deep Cuts Playlist

On Prime Time Jukebox Episode 188, we present our "Deep Cuts Playlist". In 2025, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust (DTT): released a couple of samplers: Essentials and Deep Cuts.  The "Essentials" represent the popular, must-smoke cigars in the DTT portfolio. Meanwhile Deep Cuts represent DTT Master Ligador Steve Saka's absolute favorite cigars (which might be deeper, less popular ones) in the portfolio that he smokes. Analogously Coop and Dave will build their own playlists inspired by this concept. Tonight's episode was inspired by the Deep Cuts sampler. Coop and Dave each select 8 artists and then pick some of their favorite deep cut songs from each artist.  The Essentials Playlist was done on Prime Time Jukebox Episode 187. In addition, there will be Music News, Cigar News, Developing Palates' Review of the Week, and Dave's New Music 45. On this show the boys light up cigars from the Deep Cuts Sampler: Dave lights up Sobremesa Solita Red while Coop smokes a pre-release of the Mi Querida Black PapaSaka. Episode 188 Playlist

Prime Time Special Edition 189 Audio: Aging Experiment #6, Part 2 LFD Double Ligero Chisel Natural

On Prime Time Special Edition 189, begin the Aging Experiment on the La Flor Dominicana (LFD) Double Ligero Chisel Natural. With the “Aging Experiment” Series, Bear and Coop smoke a cigar, smoke another cigar six months later, and a third cigar one year later. The idea is to see how the cigar responds to aging over a period of time. Today we are in the second leg of this experiment at the 6-8 month ppoint. With the Chisel, this is iconic and signature size in the LFD portfolio and one that has special meaning to co-host Bear Duplisea. Plus we will have our Artesano de Tobacco Under the Sea, Espinosa This Day in Sports History, and Altadis USA Great Things are Happening segments. In the spirit of Dave Burck from Jukebox, Coop and Bear will go through some “now or never” companies for PCA.

Prime Time Special Edition 189: Aging Experiment #6, Part 2 LFD Double Ligero Chisel Natural

On Prime Time Special Edition 189, begin the Aging Experiment on the La Flor Dominicana (LFD) Double Ligero Chisel Natural. With the “Aging Experiment” Series, Bear and Coop smoke a cigar, smoke another cigar six months later, and a third cigar one year later. The idea is to see how the cigar responds to aging over a period of time. Today we are in the second leg of this experiment at the 6-8 month ppoint. With the Chisel, this is iconic and signature size in the LFD portfolio and one that has special meaning to co-host Bear Duplisea. Plus we will have our Artesano de Tobacco Under the Sea, Espinosa This Day in Sports History, and Altadis USA Great Things are Happening segments. In the spirit of Dave Burck from Jukebox, Coop and Bear will go through some “now or never” companies for PCA.
