"My boy! Smoking is one of the greatest and cheapest enjoyments in life, and if you decide in advance not to smoke, I can only feel sorry for you." - Sigmund Freud (To his nephew, Harry, after he declined a cigar)

QuoteWest88 - 7/6/2017 10:00 AMForgot to add in, how do you think each affects the flavor of the cigar. From what I've heard butane is the cleanest burning, cedar spill adds to the flavor, BIC lighters ruin the flavors, so on and so on.
Quotetvolball - 7/6/2017 11:39 AM I use wooden matches from the local B&M. Mainly because I can't find a good lighter that will continue to work for more then a month. Matches always work. Usually light them and let them burn past the tip just a bit then roll the stogie in flame until its well lit.
Some matches use more Sulphur than others, If I use a match I always let it burn past the head to avoid it. But mostly I use a butane soft flame lighter from Xikar
QuotePETE314 - 7/6/2017 4:10 PM I have a couple JetLine Quad Torches...I may use a bit a butane with those beauties...but they are great lighters and I need a little overkill every now and then...LOL
Like when lighting a dark oily maduro in 60+ rg?! I wish I had a quad torch for those (CAO Flathead 660, Partagas Black Colossal, etc)
On my bike's exhaust pipes
To tell the truth, about 50% of the time I use one of these things...........
But I also smoke in my Jeep a lot and I hate using the cigarette lighter to light a cigar~!
Here's the one I use most, it's a pink Zikar Allume single Flame. Reminds me of what my wife has been through.
QuoteBrlesq - 7/6/2017 10:39 PMMy lighter selection depends on what I am smoking. For example:I use this one on Diesels, Indian Heads, CAO Flatheads and Sons of Anarchy cigarsAnd I use this one on Tatuaje Pork Tenderloins, Drew Estate Flying Pigs and Feral PigsAnd I use this one on Gurkhas . . .
