Why you need Cigar Lighters Particularly

There are a number of smokers who are fond of cigars and they keep asking which are the lighters that are good and the ones which are really bad. You will find that there are endless brands of the quality lighters and these are always at your disposal. Rather than it gives you the list of certain brands and the lighters to look for, one needs to understand what are the key elements which are to be known in order to understand which is a worthy lighter.


Knowing about the types of lighters……


A cigar of higher quality is not the same as that of a cigarette. The cigar is going to take much time to light and will definitely need more heat in order to ignite it. This is due to the fact that the tobacco content and ingredients in cigars and cigarettes vary a lot. And hence for this, one shouldn’t use a cigarette lighter for the purpose of lighting the cigars but should be using only a lighter for cigars. There is a difference between these two and you must remember it always.


Know the difference between these two:

There is a huge difference between the lighter used for cigar and the ones used for the cigarettes. Ask any cigar aficionado and he will tell you this. The lighters for cigarettes use lighter fluid but the ones, i.e., the cigar lighters use the one and only butane fuel. Butane fuel is used as it burns hotter and also cleaner. This fuel is used for providing heat which is enough to ignite the cigar and also it is odorless. Thus it will not be adding any unwanted flavors. But the lighter fluid which is in the cigarette lighters will definitely provide some unsatisfying flavor to the cigar and this can be enough to ruin your bubble. And along with that a great stogie is also ruined. The lighter for cigar is frequently said to be a torch lighter. This is as the flame produced is said to be stronger and wider as well. Thus it resembles a torch. Now, as the flame is strong, it is known to allow the lighter to be lit in any type of condition almost. Even wind cannot affect the thing much. Thus these types of lighters are definitely the right one for the cigars.


The features of these lighters for cigars:

If you have now decided to buy good quality of lighter for igniting your cigars, then it is really the time to look at certain features to know about the functionality, comfort and suitability. There are some according to these features, but not necessarily in that order. These are the features which could be added along with a lighter and have as if it is custom built. You can opt for the ones like Colibri which are known to be best.


A fuel level viewing window: This is one feature which will give you a complete heads-up on when you will need to refill the lighter of yours. It is also going to save you from leaving your golf practice with an empty lighter almost.

A huge fuel tank: You will not need to refill the butane tank of yours four times in a week, right? Of course we didn’t think the same as well.
