thschrminm Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 My normal lighting method is usually my Prometheus Saturn lighter but I try to use wooden matches as much as possible.... Been eyeing that nice LCDH lighter from Dupont recently though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMH Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I prefer a soft flame, but I think I'm going to pick up a Dupont X-tend shortly. After that, I'd like a Ligne 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I use my zippo 99% of the time. There are a few threads on this subject. One of the best suggestions has been a creme brulee torch that can be purchased at some home stores, for relatively short money. There's all kinds of great stuff on the previous threads - have a look when you have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawaiiBill Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 It depends of what cigar I am smoking and how much time I have. Sometimes I am lazy and use a regular lighter or torch. But ideally and especially with larger or spcial cigars, nothing beats a ceder splint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I too have had problems/thoughts about this and I just use my Zippo. I've tried other lighters and while losing my DuPont was upsetting and expensive, I find no real differance between that and my Zippo. I know everyone says you can taste the gas but I can't and they're cheap so losing one just doens't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud2 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 » What method do you use to light your cigar? I prefer a torch lighter, and prelight toasting of the foot before lighting.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echeck Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I use a soft flame or sometimes a cedar spill to light. For touchup, you need a torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 » What method do you use to light your cigar? Mine is a blazer gb3001 » torch... Torch.I've got 5 or 6 that I rotate between,but my favorite is the torch insert I got for my old trusty Zippo.Holds a lot of fluid,is easily adjustable,and has a really great flame.Plus I'd always had a soft spot for Zippo's when I was smoking ciggies,but they tend to make your cigar taste like gas.:-| Well,not so with the new insert. It works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatLocker Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 » What method do you use to light your cigar? Mine is a blazer gb3001 » torch... Torch mostly, soft flame if there's no wind on my back porch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Althouth it is long shot, my wife HAS seen them before. I know the place she is talking about and when I go there next week will check it out. The store is in town (honolulu) and I have to go there for business anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatshotbud Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 » What method do you use to light your cigar? Mine is a blazer gb3001 » torch... Since all of my torches have decided to give it up recently - matches (the old standby). Where I am working a the moment they have turbochargers on their diesels that would probably work in a pinch. Damn things are glowing red - scarey looking stuff. Think I will stick to the matches though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tebinium Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Torch for me definitely unless I can get decent cedar - looking at getting on of the nice double flame units soon. BTW, does anyone know if you can buy lighting splints? Someone, somewhere, mentioned it to me ages ago but I can't find anything on any websites? Would be nicer than ripping apart boxes (the stuff on the tubes just burns too fast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use prince 207.Unfortunately, It does not stand with strong winds... anyway, I have posted on another cigar board asking for suggestions for a "windproof" lighter and got really good recommendations for the slim laser lighter....
