Lighting

[BradNC]

Just curious if Rob, Smithy, Ken and the crew have ever considered doing a video showing their lighting techniques for cigars. Just curious how they differ and what works for them. Maybe discussion on other topics such as whether or not they purge their cigars at any point while smoking, relighting, if they touchup cigars while smoking, etc. Just a suggestion but maybe I'm the only one who would be interested in this info?

Thanks,

Brad

Not a problem Brad. We can certainly do such a Vid.

Predominantly here on the deck we have a slight breeze so torches are the way to go. ken tends to use matches on his deck which is well sheltered.

If I have a choice (and no breeze) I will use cigar matches where possible or a strip of cedar.

Thanks Pres. I'd love to hear y'all discuss the topics and insight, experiences, etc. Maybe others can chime in if it interests them too.

An old thread but worth bringing up to get different ideas.

I use a torch or lighter and am careful to avoid the flame actually touching the foot as I rotate the cigar until it's charred.

Then I lightly touch the flame to the foot and puff short light puffs, maybe two to three times to get an even burn.

Me too.

I burn the **** out of it with any form of fire till it's lit. I've lit cigars with anything and everything. I don't cut my cigars either. I pick the cap with my nail. More for convenience cos in always travlleing and I can't obviously take cutters carry in with me. And I don't often smoke pyramids so I'm good with the nail.

My choice if I'm on the deck. I laugh at the wind!

^LOL

[dicko]

definitely a torch. Perth is windy. I rotate the cigar as I light to get an even burn.

[Optic101]

Mostly torch, if no wind then I use a soft flame lighter.

Wooden matches, soft flame, torch. Whatever is close to my hands :-D

Indoors/No wind = matches. IM Corona Double Corona once I get it back from repair. Any other time = Ronson torch. I toast with all sources of flame. Usually takes me about 4 kitchen matches to get it lit.

Torch is the ticket--cans of butane refill a must.

[amart]

Also, I noticed a distinctly different taste between two Monte 2s between toasting and when lighting quickly. Has anyone else noticed this as well>

[Squarehead]

I can't afford that kind of lighter

[sengjc]

Something must be wrong with that car if the exhaust temperature is that hot!

cuban always gets a cedar spill when at home... a light char while rotating the cigar slowly followed by a couple of puffs, and one purge puff once fully lit.

non-cuban gets the butane torch at home... same method as above, except if I'm out on the town... then of course I use my Lambo... as per the video... ;-]
