Leave it to the French to create a culinary science out of firing up a stogie. I'm gonna try it, though!

Je vais essayer ça !!

Interesting article. May have to experiment with this

Great stuff

Gordon mott has talked about this before as well. I have never tried but I just might have to now.

^ I was immediately reminded of this when reading the OP.

Great stuff.

 

[irie]

Great minds think alike that video has always stuck with me too amazingly I have still never tried it though.

 

[SailorAg]

Fancy fancy! I'm willing to give this a try

Makes sense....
That "review" should have been done blind, though in order to give it any relevance .

Now I'm lighting a cigar wrong? Jeez, can't I do anything right?

The article on the Puisais Method uses a soft flame. I wonder what effect that has. Most people on this forum use a butane lighter. It is a more intense heat, but for a significantly lower time.

So it's independent invention - like that like that cowboy singer in the 1940s who discovered the Tibetan overtone method of throat-singing. Still, The Gordon Mott Method doesn't sound nearly as impressive as La Methode de Jascques Puisais.

I'm thinking using cedar spills with this way of lighting, and you can't go wrong!

I can't use a torche lighter without tasting burnt in my cigar... butane soft flame I can manage but matches and spills do wonder.

Maybe I need a better torche, or courses on how to use them. But the quickness of it isn't worth the taste difference in my mind. I smoke cigars to relax, not stress about how long it takes to light them

Are you utilizing the French spelling of "torch" on purpose?
If so, lol

 

[herfdog]

Lol anyway, but its my phone who can't help but fighting me when I write english. Its a pain.

My main language is french...

 

[c.ortiz108]

I've noticed that, too - the fancy torch lighter results in a bitter taste so I use a cheapo bic when I'm not using spills. I use the torch for touch-ups, though.

 

[Tennessee Dave]

Looks interesting. I am going to do it and see for myself.

 

[Old Smokey]

Damn, now I gotta buy matches? This cigar bidness is gettin spensive. And 3 matches? I will get some fireplace matches and just use 1. Might even make me a video.
Nah, probably not gonna happen.
