99% of the time its torch time, but there is that 1% of the time I use wood matches.

99% of the time its my torch lighter due to conveince.

However, matches are the way to go if you can use them without blowing out.

i love wood matches.

I use a torch. I haven't even tried it with a match :dunno:

 

[pdonlin]

The only time that I've used matches is when I was actually at the cigar store/bar. I never carried my lighter with me and when a hot waitress offers to assist me in lighting my cigar I really don't care how it gets lit :grin:

Oxy-Acetylene torch...

 

[caudio51]

Torch but I should give matches a whirl

I have used the cedar of a cigar sleeve before.

 

[indyrob]

Oxy-Acetylene torch...

Man...That's a light!

I use what's handy, but I prefer wood matches.

Triple flame torch but I have used a cigarette lighter in the car to light paper to liight a cigar in an emergency. No snob here.

 

[AZsteelman]

torch all the time!

 

[Terrasco]

Torches are great unless one happens to have good matches.

Or you have to fly somewhere

No I don't anymore, but we used to light our cigarettes (when I smoked them) at the muffler shop I worked at with a torch all the time.

I've been using a butane colibri lighter, myself... No question it's easier.

My question is does anybody notice a "taste difference" or flavor difference between using a butane lighter and, say, super-expensive cedar matches?

I remember a few years back during the initial stogie-boom reading that "pros" prefer matches because a lighter can affect the flavor. Or maybe it was the other way around, that the sulfer in the tip of a match can affect the flavor???

DuPont Xtend is my main source, great lighter. I never can tell the difference between torch and wood matches. Matches are just messy and harder to deal with in the car.

 

[Wasch_24]

Xtend as well

 

[vperlman]

Torch to light, wood match to touch up uneven burn (if I'm indoors).

 

[caudio51]

Still using my Xtend or my colibri firebird if I dont want to worry about the Xtend
