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. :smiley37: :smiley37: :smiley37:
with FIRE!!! From any source handy. :smiley36:
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. :smiley7:
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. :smiley37:
Zippo

not quite sure, next time i see him i'll ask.
Zippo, wooden matches, torch and if I have to I will rub two sticks together to light a good cigar :smiley37:
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.
Don't you taste the Zippo fluid that way?Quote:

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.
zippo + z-plus now

I always lit my cheap-ass cigars (captain black, swisher etc.) with matches until all I had on hand was a friends zippo. I couldn't tell the difference, so I bought one. I haven't used it since I started smoking GOOD cigars though, so my answer may change.

Gimme a butane any day. However, the really long wooden matches are fun. :smiley20:
Hey Joshua,
Do you have a source for these? I fancy one for myself
When at home I use one of those kitchen butane torch things that you can use for creme brule, bit difficult to carry in a pocket though.Quote:
