zippos any good?

[Yeagermeister]

yea...the better ones have adjustable flames though.

I have always used a Zippo and I love mine (even outdoors in the wind, just a little tricky ). I have also heard of a butane insert that fits into the Zippo case (look here).

I just let the lighter burn a bit before lighting the cigar as mentioned earlier and then I blow out through the cigar once it's lit and I've noticed no problems with taste.

Just my .02

anyone know how much faster the lighter emties with one of those attachments? they seem like a nice addition to keep your lighter and have it windproof.

I have myself a really good double flame lighter. It's part of the ritual for me to have a good lighter, cutter and a crystal ashtry when I smoke. Somehow it makes the smoke taste better.
