I have a new found fetish for table lighters, the B&M I used to frequent in AZ had one they would light your cigars with....it had a soft flame and a torch on it. I really liked it but never looked into them until now. Anybody else have a table lighter, or better yet a collection?

Have a big lotus one from a whole back that has Perdomo etched on it. It's nice, handy, but I still prefer those creme-brûlée torch type lighters. They're pretty cheap on ebay.

I have the older S.T. Dupont table lighter. It's very nice - posted a picture somewhere in this forum in the lighter roundup thread, I think.

I have a cheapo Alec Bradley table lighter I bought off of Amazon. Works great...soft flame...holds a bunch of fluid. Love it! :).

Just bought a Xikar Havana Collection table lighter. Have had it for a couple of weeks now and love it.

Here it is... New price is crazy and even used on eBay they go for decent money. At least I never saw a fake ;)

Keith has a ridiculously awesome one.

It looks like one of those alcohol lamps and it is adjustable with an awesome spring action. Also, it was almost completely steel which looked quite steampunk ^_^

I was looking at those, I really like them. I was uncertain about quality though anybody have experience with them?

I have a Vector Tri-Pump and I love it. It holds a massive amount of fluid and obviously has no issues getting a cigar going. They aren't great for fine tuning your burn of course, that's a job for my S.T. Dupont Xtend.

Quality is great and I would definitely recommend. Just ensure you're buying high quality butane.

we use one of these in the shop in Playa del Carmen. Has been consistent for close to 3 years now.

Yup. Vector tri-pump. Mine's matte black and polished chrome. Bought it and a bunch of other accessories through Mark Neff / www.cigarmony.com a couple of years back. He's a good BOTL from on here and a few other forums. It's been quite a lighter - holds about 1/2 a bottle of the Vector Quintuplus butane too, LOL.

Works great, fires up every time. Thing has a bit too much backpressure buildup to it though, so that when you release the switch, it still burns for 2-5 seconds until it self extinguishes. Only issue though, considering it always fires up, and no issues at all with it's performance otherwise.

The only other thing is you have to get used to it. It's a massive triple-flame blue flame, and it throws out heat enough to light a cigar a good 5 or 6 inches out from the lighter. But, in the daytime, it only "looks" like there's about an inch of flame there, if that, and it's easy to misjudge it and come in too close. For those that have facial hair, that could be dangerous.

At nighttime however, it's impressive to see.

Here's Rob using it at the MegaHerf last month...

claus that's awesome, i can't deal with anything more than single flame it just scorches too much of the stick for me

Same here - I use a single jet flame outdoors at most. Otherwise I have completely switched to soft flame.
