I too have some trusty Zipp[s that light some cigars. I have not had a "foul taste" problem. Like Beast and Puro, for me fire is fire.
Lighting a cigar with a Zippo in the wind does not work very well if you are shooting for a crisp even burn from the start. Most cigars I have lit in the wind did even themselves though.
I have a cheap torch that I use too, and matches, never used the stove but I have lit a cigar off the glowing red hot side of a wood burning Anagama ceramics kiln. Just about tanned my face and singed my eyebrows at the same time.
Some potters say this method of lighting a cigar is a time honored tradition.
Traditions are grand.
Use that Zippo when ya want.
