Cigar lighters and matches

Choosing the right cigar lighter

For cigar aficionados, the choice of lighter is not to be taken lightly. Perfect lighting is the key to an exceptional tasting experience, both in terms of taste and smell. Why not settle for a simple lighter? Because there is a significant difference between a cigar lighter and an ordinary lighter. Where there's a difference in size, there's also a difference in flame. Using a conventional lighter to light a cigar is a delicate operation, because the bigger the flame, the easier it is to light your cigar.

The different types of cigar lighter: find your perfect match

The options are vast: from powerful torch lighters to elegant twin-flame lighters and more traditional models. Lovers of design will appreciate elegant chrome cigar lighters, while those who prefer functionality will turn to torch-shaped lighters or slim, long models, ideal for cigars of a more delicate calibre. For pure lighting without interfering with the flavour of your cigar, butane gas lighters are a must. Unlike petrol lighters, a butane gas lighter offers a clean flame that won't alter the precious aromas of your cigar. When shopping for cigar lighters, make sure you choose a butane gas refillable model for the best experience.

It's important to mention that you should never use a petrol lighter to light a cigar, so as not to alter its flavour. The petrol contained in this type of lighter can leave an undesirable aftertaste and interfere with the cigar's delicate flavours. It is advisable to opt for lighters specially designed for cigars, such as butane gas lighters, which provide a clean, residue-free flame, thus preserving the authenticity and quality of the cigar's aromas.

Tips for lighting your cigar with a lighter

Lighting a cigar is almost a ritual, requiring care and attention. Use your cigar lighter to heat the end of the cigar by rotating it slowly, ensuring even lighting. For purists, using cedar cigar matches can add an extra dimension to the experience, subtly impregnating the tobacco with a woody aroma. Whatever method you choose, the objective remains the same: to achieve a perfect lighting that preserves the cigar's natural flavours, without altering them with chemicals or an overly aggressive flame. Remember, patience and precision are the keys to awakening the true spirit of your cigar, transforming each smoke into a celebration of the senses.
