I own two torch lighters that I have used for the past 1.5 years to light cigars. I would toast the foot until it turned an ashy white, then I would proceed to smoke the cigars. But recently, I've started using the wooden matches that my local B&M cigar shop gives out. I've got it down to a 3-match light by now (one for toasting, one for the actual lighting, one for touch-ups).
For some reason, it seems to produce a much woodier, and less bitter taste on the first puff. I'm thinking of using matches as my primary way to light cigars, and just using my torch lighter in windy conditions, or when its inconvenient to use matches.
So, that got me thinking... what does everyone else here use, and why?
