For new smokers, lighting a cigar can seem as daunting as learning to choose a good single. Here are four tips to guide you in lighting a cigar for the first time.
1. Use cedar matches, if possible. If you prefer to use a lighter, make sure it’s butane lighter to avoid strong odors.
2. Warm the open end of the cigar (aka ‘the foot’ of the cigar) slowly over the flame, without touching it to the fire. Let a black ring form around the end.
Cigar Lighters Comments
Cigar lighters are much more involved than cigarette lighters. They often have built in cutters or punchers or tools that are used when smoking cigars than your run of the mill bic at the gas station has. Cigar lighters usually come on a keychain too so you aren’t as apt to lose it. I know that may sound kind of kid-ish or dumb, but they still look high class, so no worries.
Cigar lighters comments can usually be found online at any site that actually sells the lighters and there are also reviews sites that you can read comments at. Your best bet is to search for lighters online or actually start by searching for user reviews or ratings, then once you find one that meets all your needs, you can buy from the same place that the person with a good review did. Then you’re guaranteed to have just a good of experience.
