Prime Time Jukebox Episode 156 Audio: 2025 Dedicaitons Show
Tuesday Apr 08, 2025
Tuesday Apr 08, 2025
An annual tradition continues on Prime Time Jukebox Episode 156, the Dedications Show for 2025.
Dave Burck started the Dedications Show on Cigar Jukebox. Each year, listeners could submit a dedication song to honor a loved one or someone special who has passed away. Since we launched Prime Time Jukebox, we have included the Dedications Show every year.
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 celebrate those lives and remembrances of those who are no longer with us. We will smoke the Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2024.
As always, you can follow along with our Spotify Playlists:

The Smoking Syndicate: ST Dupont Defi XXtreme Lighter (Audio)
Saturday Apr 05, 2025
Saturday Apr 05, 2025
ST Dupont is known for their fine cigar accessories with the bulk of it being their lighters. Their torch lighters all started with the introduction of their MaxiJet which a slim single flame lighter. I’ve personally owned for for 25 years now and it still fires up like the first day I got it. Originally, all their lighters were made in Paris,France, but later they moved their production overseas to China. Coles of Londons started distributing ST Dupont a few years ago and is now trying to bring the manufacturing back to France. They introduced the Defi Extreme which was a more rugged single flame lighter with a plastic cage around the sizes and corners to add protection. The newest version is called the Defi XXtreme, with two XX, is the newer version of the Defi with two major changes. One, the new lighter use a dual torch flame, and secondly, a more robust cage system. Here is the description from ST Dupont:
“Defi XXtreme, the lighter for modern adventurers. With its powerful blue double flame, it resists even the most extreme conditions! The Petrol Defi XXtreme is the perfect travel companion for your most extraordinary adventures.”
