Cigar lighters

A special type of lighter is often used to light a cigar, namely a torch lighter or a storm lighter. These lighters are designed to produce a powerful and wind-resistant flame, which is essential for lighting a cigar evenly and efficiently.

How does a torch lighter work?

Torch lighters usually have a single or multiple blue flames that produce intense heat, making them ideal for lighting a cigar. They are also common navulbaar and have an adjustable flame height, allowing you to adjust the flame to the size of the cigar.

Lighting a cigar requires some care and attention to ensure an even burn and good flavor. Follow these steps to properly light a cigar:

Prepare the cigar:

If necessary, cut the end of the cigar with cigar scissors or a special cigar cutter. Make sure you only cut off a small amount of the tip so that the outer wrapper (the wrapper) is not damaged.

Choose the right lighter:

Preferably use a torch lighter or a storm lighter, as these produce a powerful, wind-resistant flame. If you prefer to use matches, make sure you use extra-long matches or wooden lighters to protect your fingers from burning.

Toast the foot of the cigar:

Hold the cigar at an angle of about 45 degrees. Place the lighter flame about 1 to 2 inches below the base of the cigar. Start rolling the cigar slowly and evenly as you warm the base. This will cause the tobacco to start glowing.

Hold the cigar in your mouth:

Now place the cigar in your mouth and continue to spin slowly while continuing to heat with the flame. This helps to distribute the heat evenly around the circumference of the cigar.

Light the cigar:

Once the tobacco starts to glow, hold the lighter flame directly over the base of the cigar as you continue to spin. Take a puff every now and then and blow out the excess smoke to prevent the cigar from smoldering.

Check the glowing edge:

Check that the edge of the cigar glows evenly and completely. If this is not the case, gently heat the parts that are not yet burning properly until the glowing edge is completely covered.

Enjoy your cigar:

Now that your cigar is properly lit, you can enjoy it by smoking slowly and relaxing.
