A good video for proper cigar lighters! New Subscriber. I *l o v e* my newest DuPont soft flame. If one finds themselves at a quiet classy function or location where you prefer to be more discreet, you can always open the DuPont lighter with two hands or slow roll open to mute the opening sound which is so beautiful it's music to my ears every time I hear it open! Those lighters (1 single soft & 1 dual soft flame Ive purchased over the last 5 years) never fail me!

I've started my cigar journey with zippos. I always use lighter fluid by zippo and I haven't even once tasted the fluid. I even offered it to my cigar smoking friends and they only tasted the cigar so idc what other cigar smokers say I am using my zippo to light cigars.

I enjoy Xikar lighters. Today I bought a Rocky Patel double jet flame lighter. I have one soft flame lighter by Xikar three single jet flame lighters and one double jet lighter by Xikar. I also have other lighters on a less expensive options in my collection. As far as cutters are concerned Xikar is my go to choice

@pistonburner6448 Год назад

S. T. Dupont lighters may be made in France (I believe some other lighter models of theirs are made elsewhere, including in China), but the company is Chinese-owned.

@archerpiperii2690 Месяц назад

Some time ago I finally had enough of finicky torch lighters and switched to using either a BIC lighter or a "clicker" fireplace/BBQ lighter. These lighters may be cheap but they work reliably when called upon and for me that matters more than style. That said, that "Old Boy" looks pretty sweet. Phoenix, AZ

@georgetowntobacco Месяц назад

Agreed! We use Djeep lighters a lot around the store (now owned by Bic)- but it’s hard to resist the quality and feel of the IM Corona Ol Boy! I can assure you it won’t disappoint :) -Teresa

im not sure what he meant but yeah to me i think they are both the same kind of flame although there are two types of these strong flames i have seen one that has the brass nozzle that makes the torch flame and another that has a recessed nozzle that produces more of a diamond shaped flame i call jet flame , i have both types of lighters @@BuffaloNickel9

You said butane lighter is more desirable for cigars but then the first and the last lighters seem like they've got fluid rather than butane. Or are they butane lighters and am I just tripping?

@rafaeltorre1643 Год назад

lighters don’t clog except for years of heavy use. Torches do. Cleaning is so easy but I have so many parts I just swap them out. Its quick but it takes forever to learn everything lighters. The jets are just a screen and a see through alloy.metal disk. Anything that burns leaves carbon.

Untrue Zippo statement...

@BoonieChris Год назад

I doubt theres a single human being on earth who tastes if it was lit with a Zippo. Just dont store both together.

@TheCarpenterUnion Год назад

You definitely get the lighter fluid fumes. Pretty gross.

@BoonieChris Год назад

@@TheCarpenterUnion I doubt that and I will test it. If you move a gas flame too close to meat for example, the meat tastes disgusting, if you keep it a couple of centimeters away its fine - same here, if you put the cigar directly above the wick you might get some fumes into the cigar, but if its above I bet you wont.

@vast634 Год назад

Using Zippo daily gets also quite messy with the fluid leaking, and evaporating. In the end, a simple BIC lighter is the most reliable choice.

@stansroka Год назад

The lighter fluid is an acquired taste 😂

@UCkI6pPBQ1IaNlicrwsnR5_w 2 месяца назад

@@BoonieChris Zippos are great and if you like to carry one then you do you. You can absolutely use a zippo without affecting the taste if you do it correctly. The point is that if you choose a butane lighter, that potential problem goes away entirely. It's a recommendation, not a law. You can also put a butane lighter in your humidor or cigar travel pouch, which I absolutely wouldn't do with a zippo.
