Guide to a Cigar Lighters

Author: lizlivetech

Cigar lighters are not like any other fluid filled lighter, or match, which could potentially destroy your fine hand made cigar.

A fluid filled lighter for cigarettes can contain fuel which will contaminate your cigar as it will leave a taste upon the end of your cigar which will be sucked through the whole of the cigar damaging the tastes and aromas of the cigar from the beginning to the end.

It’s important to use proper cigar lighters as these contain purely triple filtered or even higher Butane. Butane is a gas which is odourless and tasteless. This means that it is specifically used in cigar lighters as when you light up your cigar with this lighter it will not affect the taste and aromas of the cigars.

It is also important to make sure that you do not use a match to light your cigar. This will again ruin the aromas and tastes of the cigar as a match is dipped in sulphur to help it spark up, which when breathed in will contaminate the whole of the cigar. Also lighting a cigar with a match will almost always mean that the cigar will be lit unevenly.

It is particularly important to use real cigar lighters to light up your cigar as a cigar is a finely produced product, which will have gone through different tobacco curing techniques to produce different aromas and tastes. A fine cigar will also have been hand rolled by someone who can roll hundreds of identical cigars a day. Also a cigar may have then been further matured in a special wooden box for years to produce its final aromas and tastes. Lighting a cigar without a cigar lighter will ruin the cigar and make this fine process worthless.

The best cigar lighters have a double, triple or torch flame. This will mean that that flame will be intense and a colour of blue or green. An intensive neat flame will ensure that when lighting the cigar, you will achieve an even light. When you light the cigar with your cigar lighter slowly turn the cigar while drawing in the air slowly. The cigar lighter will ensure that the cigar is not spoilt by unwanted tastes or odours, leaving you to enjoy your cigar to its full potential.
