It's Prime Time Jukebox Episode 200, and we mark the milestone by presenting a set of Jukebox Awards.

Prime Time Jukebox is always the place where the cigar industry has talked music, so the Jukebox Awards bring them together. This allows us to go back into the archives of Jukebox history and not only recall shows, cigars, and music, but it allows us to look at things from the 2026 perspective.

On this show, Dave and Coop smoke the Fuente Fuente OpusX ReXilient.

Plus we have Episode 200-themed music news, cigar news, and Developing Palates Review of the Week. Of course, we also have the music pairing of the week, and Dave’s New Music 45.

As always you can follow along with our Spotify Playlists:
