C'Mon Baby Light My Fire

I was Just Wondering How Everyone Lites Their Cigars. I usually use a Butane Lighter or a Wood Match. (Never a non-butane lighter though.)

wooden matches

Torch lighter . . . nothing fancy (yet, a Colibri is on it's way) just a gas station torch lighter that I have had for maybe 5 years.

Wooden matches for me, though if it's windy, a butane torch lighter is the way to go.

**grand cru no 2** · 06-23-2005, 03:30 PM

with FIRE!!! From any source handy.

Sometimes a wooden match, others a butane lighter. On a rare occasion a paper match, a cedar split or even the kitchen stove or a blow torch.

Never from a candle, nor from the oil burner in my furnace.

butane usually but i have lit it with a cigarette once. as my friend says, you can light up on anything burning. he once lit his cigar on a park bench. course it was his fault the bench was burning in the first place.

Zippo

Haha very funny! Let me ask... how had the bench "all the sudden" become... on fire?

**mithril** · 06-23-2005, 07:31 PM

not quite sure, next time i see him i'll ask.

**Bkcloud114** · 06-23-2005, 07:31 PM

Zippo, wooden matches, torch and if I have to I will rub two sticks together to light a good cigar

In that order

ok, i found out how the bench caught fire. he set a plastic soda cap on fire on the edge of the bench so that the liquid plastic could drip off the side in firey flame balls. the escapade went bad and the bench caught on fire. then he proceeded to light his smoke.

No, that's an urban legend.

I have gone absolutely insane buying lighters since I got into this madness. I have bought nine Colibris and and now looking at buying a few Lotus lighters. And I have about a dozen cheap novelty lighters. Don't get me started on the ashtrays I have bought on ebay....

Butane lighters
Forest fires
Warehouse fires
Lightening bolts
Falling meteorites
Military weapons testing areas

When ya need a cigar, ya need a cigar.

sorry for dragging this old thread up. but i just got done watching the movie 'the legend of 1900'. where 1900 lit a cigerette on a piano. probably not possible, but thought it deserved to be mentioned.

I just bought a torch lighter a few weeks ago and am absolutely loving it. Before that, I used cigarette lighters that never seemed to light the cigars evenly. Once in a while, I used the kitchen stove which seemed to light the cigars more to my liking than the plastic disposables.
