    Default End a bet!

    A friend of mine was looking over my shoulder while I was browsing around the threads, and in his simple mind "we are all taking cigars and the smoking thing to serious". His words, not mine. The auctal story is sorta long but it came down to a simple bet. Which I will now have the board settle.


    Flame Light or Jet Light, when using a lighter which do you prefer and why?


    Friday I will tally up results and tell you all who won the bet, what the bet was, and why it came about. Sorry I gotta be vague but it will make sense in the end.

    thanks

    Practical answer: doesn't matter, any type of fire works.

    For the sake of your bet: Flame over torch for me.

    TORCH!

    39 cent gas station lighters just don't do it for me.

    I'm leaning toward wooden matches, myself... But I also use a torch lighter (several, actually)

    Torch lighters rule! Flame lighters and matches get blown out too easily. Now when i am inside, wooden matches will do in a pinch, and are kinda cool to boot.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    Now maybe we can all have a side bet on what your original bet was. The winner could get a free box of Padron 1926, paid for by cigarsmokers.com.
    I predict the bet was how many people on this board would actually respond to, and expound on, a question about the simple act of bringing fire in contact with a cigar.

    Of course if I'm right, I just hijacked your thread, which will affect the results.

    Default Usually......

    a wooden match but only because I have a load of them around from all the shops, etc.

    However, if and when I do use a lighter it's a jet baby. And it's cool too. My buddy got it for me (as a gag sort of ) when he stopped into one of JR's shops on a trip south last year. When you light it the base lights up with a load of flashing L.E.D.s! The damndest thing though......it has lasted very well and hasn't failed yet!

    I think I have that SAME lighter... I got it free with my Xikar cutter (gotta love eBay).

    Aside from being butt-ugly, it's a nice little lighter!

    As long as I don't have to rub two sticks together to get it going I'm happy.

    Torch for myself. Easier, faster, more control.
