    I use a dual flame, cheapie generic brand torch lighter, and thanks to DW, I have recently been using cedar spills. Very very nice.

    I will say that I don't like the dual-flame lighter, simply because it fries smaller-gauged cigars.

    I use a tiger triple flame. Bought it from a B&M in Alabama. I won a little contest and didn't want to take full advantage of their generosity so I bought the lighter.

    I haven't been disappointed with it yet. It is a little heavy on fuel consumption but butane is rather cheap.

    Lol I wish I had a plasma cutter to light my stick.

    For all those who use BICs, don't they usually say that it doesn't burn as clean as a torch and the unburned fuel will taint the taste of the cigar? I never tried it but I was wondering if anyone had some first had experience with it.

    I use a cheapo (Ronson) one flame torch, does the trick for me.

    Bic's do not alter the taste of cigars. Bic lighters use butane as fuel. Liquid lighter fluid, such as in a zippo will alter the taste of your cigar. As long as it's butane you're good to go.

    For me Bics work fine, as long as you don't dip into the flame. The yellow flame will deposit soot. Stay above the flame. A blue-flame torch will not deposit soot (cleaner flame).

    Vector Triple Flame for me. I love this lighter.

    You don't really need 3 flames, but man is it awesome.

    It's like, you don't really need a Ferrari or a Lambo or Porsche, etc, BUT you want one.

    I like my cheap-ass torch type bbq lighter I picked up for 3 bucks at the grocery store. It's a little bulky to wander around with, but I generally only smoke cigars in my den.
    I have made it a rule never to smoke more that one cigar at a time.
