Cigar Matches

[wrz0170]

I did a google search and although I have found a few places that carry them, I am hesitant with some online places. Not sure of their reputation.

I also found Davidoff, which is ok, but I was wondering if there were any other recommended places I could try?

Thanks!

p.s. I guess before I waste any money on them, are they worth getting?

As long as you wait till the flare burns off they are ok to light your cigar.

I dont bother with them, since a good torch lighter is a lot better.

Yep, that covers it. Though some people enjoy taking the extra time with a soft flame, seems a little smoother/intimate I guess.


Torch for me though.

I am a match man myself so I understand your issue. If you do not have a local shop(I get mine from a few places). I have been known to use a standard wood match and just let the sulfer burn off prior to light(a few seconds). I like them because of the size of the stick and they burn a while. They are also cheap. I prefer the soft flame over a tourch whenever possible. Tourch's are just to brutal to a cigar for me. I hope I helped.

I am slowly appreciating the soft touch of a match. I do have regular wooden matches, but those things burn too fast for me and I wind up burning my fingers . Don't get me wrong. I use my torch on a windy day as I don't like to go through 18 matches to light up. But on a day when it's warm, no breeze, I prefer the match.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any of the B&M that carry the long cigar match. So, I have to go online and look for some reputable sources.

I have been looking for odorless cigar matches for sometime...think I may have nailed it - should know in a bit.

I have also looking at spills but can't find anyone to make them for cheap.

I'll keep you posted on the matches if it pans out.

I have seen them in one of wholesale catalogs at the store, try looking up Swan vestas. I think swedish match makes them.

Thanks! I will check it out. But I think I am going to wait and see what Mark has up his sleeve. Where he ships from, I would have them in a day.

It took a little digging but I found the company that makes the Swans and requested a catalog to see what other styles of matches they may have. :thumbs: (Thanks JoCigar!)

I'll keep you posted.
