Favorite Lightin Method

[Peekay]

Was wondering what everyone prefered? I've been using matches, but lately it has been so damn windy I am thinking a bout switching to a torch lighter.

Go with a torch lighter...

I have a three burner lighter and it is great.
I can light a cigar in a hurricane.

Here is a link to the lighter I have:

It is cheap and works well...

Torch. Xtend is my favorite.

I was recently given a torch, and I won't deny that they work...but I still enjoy using wooden matches the most.

Wooden matches are preferred.

i use a torch- hold the cigar foot about an inch away, above the heat, on a 45 degree angle, rotating the cigar and char the end. then get the heat closer until it is lit.

The Z-Plus is a cool invention. It is made for Zippo's. If you have an old zippo, you can remove the insert (wick and flint) and replace the whole thing with the butane torch. It just slips right in. I think its around $20.

An old S.T. Dupont I was given as a gift. It's not very efficient (weak flame, probably no better than your matches), but it was a nice gift.

Colibri torch

I have a cheap lighter with three different flames (regular, torch, windproof) that works great when it is particularly windy out.

Thin sheets of cedar ?? Are they matches or do ya light the cedar sheet fom a lighter then light the cigar ?

I use a torch when I'm outside. I usually use a Zippo indoors, I prefer to use the Zippo. And no, the fluid does not change the flavor of the cigar. :laugh:
