Your Method of Igniting

[caudio51]

I use a Dupont X-tend, a Colibri Triplex and a Colibri Firebird.

[derek]

Wood matches or a zippo insert.

However, I would like to get one of those Food torches.

[cjazz]

Blazer CG001 :clap: (a Pb-207 but enclosed in a molded case), or a Zippo with Z-plus insert. Sometimes I use a Blazer Eagle triple flame.

[MichiganM]

I use a torch lighter I got from walmart for 1.99. It works better than the Firebird I had by farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[caudio51]

My firebird works great :dunno:

[cvm4]

I use a torch lighter by Scripto. I think they're around $4 at Walmart and they work great outside.

[Greg]

I use Vector table torch at home and a Colibri when I'm out.

[pharmgator]

Colibri triple torch

[kirscovitch]

usually i use wooden matches or a regular old bic lighter.

[dmoby]

zippo contempo, dupont, vector, colibri x 3, matches

[Sticks]

I use a Prometheus Intruder Torch Lighter that I got from Cigarmony.com - Very nice lighter. :thumbsup:

[Wasch_24]

Dupont Xtend unless traveling.

I just received a Zippo insert from Heartfelt this weekend...gonna give that a try for carrying in the jeans pocket.

[AZsteelman]

Roburn Micro torch, and a Blazer something or other...really nice lighter!

[thebigo]

Oliver was talking about the "Food Torch" Derek mentioned.

[caudio51]

Oh yea, cigarmony.com has some of those

It's called a table lighter I believe...

[thebigo]

yeah...haha. But that insert is really cool. I might have to get a zippo and the insert. Works well to those of you with it?

Yup, I've got an insert, and got two for my buddies as gifts. They are awesome. Get them from www.heartfeltindustries.com.

[thebigo]

most definately will...thanks

[hellbub]

Well, to complete my ensemble of cigar smoking paraphernalia, along with the utility knife for the cut, I light up with a quick lite propane torch. :bigeyes: All my smoking is outside. Hasn't let me down yet, and holds up well in strong breezes. I do believe I could light up in a hurricane with that thing. I'm really not sure how I'd lite up in a public setting. Maybe I'd just bring it with.:halfgrinw

Colibri "Oscar" w/ the 2 punches built in. Like the taste wood matches gives it. Heard zippo's were a cigar no no. Leaves fuel taste behind?

I've heard that too but never had a first hand experience

[rpb67]

Lately I have been using wooden matches.

If I go to a herf,I take my Colibri with the built in cutter with me.

If I am on vacation its a disposable Bic and some wooden matches.

I have the Vector table torch. It's just awesome!

Zippos will leave a taste only if you IMMEDIATELY put flame to your pipe/cigar. If you give it a second for the excess naptha to burn off you get a good clean light.

Until some moron with little to no respect for personal property broke the outer casing of my Zippo (the part that sadly can't be replaced, because they don't make that one anymore) trying to do a trick for his girlfriend, I used either that or wooden matches to light up.

[CWS]

Colbri Trifecta or cedar strips for the ISOM's

[taltos]

When I am out of the house i use a Zippo black case. At home, keep in mind that my wife has asthma, so I smoke on the deck or in the garage, I use a Ronson technical butane torch. I bought this torch since I do a good amount of soldering work on circuit boards and on glass work. I had a torch from Austria that took special cartridges and then the company folded. This torch puts out a flame that will burn a hole in stainless steel exhaust pipe tubing and can also be turned down to light a cigar. Also has a screw in insert for shrinking plastic tubing and has screw-in soldering heads. Best of all, just uses Ronson butane ($2.29 per cylinder) and only cost $25 at Walmart. Certainly does a good job on a cigar and on its soldering jobs. Paul:riflefire

[caudio51]

Man, that sounds like a serious lighter Paul!

[SmoothDraw]

Just bought a new Nibo Triple Torch. Used it today for the first time and enjoyed it quite a bit.

I've seen a lot of guys buying those lately...

[Crazy_Llama]

so yeah last time i lit up it was with a propain torch that my dad uses to light the fire place
other than that it is prety much anything that produces flame
like sticks from a fire, bic lighters, grills, matches, havent used a road flair yet but would be interested in the affects of that on a cigar.

anyone used a road flair yet

[DocLogic77]

Wood matches or a zippo insert.

However, I would like to get one of those Food torches.

I can't believe I just seen this. I have one of those torches and have actually used it to light a cigar. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I was always curious as to the looks I would get if I lit a cigar up in public with that baby. :smokingbo

[BradMc]

I have the tripple torch, have lots of problem with it, i have a single flame torch , and when i travel , it is wood Matches.........

[DocLogic77]

I am looking to get a new good lighter. I really wonder if price makes a huge difference. I am looking at 3 flame lighters for 15 bucks then some for 100 bucks. I have no expertise here. I use my zippo most of the time. Any help?

[cvm4]

I would go for a Dupont X-tend. They aren't cheap but they're very good. They don't work so well in the wind though.

[caudio51]

I have an X-tend and it is a great lighter. I use mine in the wind and it does a good job, never goes out for me.

[AZsteelman]

i love my blazer!!!

[smokem94]

A Colibri for the travel smokes and my new X-Tend at home.

[Viper139]

I still think for day to day use the Blazer PB207 is the best. Very reliable, good wind resistence and an amazing amount of butane storage so very few refills.

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

I'm a dupont whore. only use ligne 2s and x-tends.

[BkSmoke]

I use my Prometheus Avatar lighter, it works really well and looks pretty sharp.

[WhiteLightning]

Bump....


I use a Colibri which I think is starting to crap out on me. I usually use matches otherwise. I am looking into getting a Xikar triple torch. They look and light great. The price holds me back from jumping all over it.


What's everyone else using?

[RigilKent]

Vector Triple Flame Perdomo Lighter
Xikar Executive
Or Matches

[Tegu]

Creme brulee torch
or my old boy lighter, I still think that is the best lighter around, in fact I am about to get another one.

[WhiteLightning]

My colibri is officially caput.:pitchfork

[PadronMADAddict]

I use a Tiger # 19 single torch lighter and also a Tiger trilogy with a punch built right in it also i have a Colibri Connaught Pipe Lighter in silver.

[bballbaby]

it used to wooden matches and only wooden matches, but i got a colibri jet lighter last week and im' kinda diggin it. Now i don't have to stand in a corner to keep th ewind away whilest trying to light my cigar.

it certainly makes life easier...and it doesn't take as long either.
