Re: Wooden Matches vs. Torches
 
Having come from the pipe world, and even though I have an Old Boy pipe lighter, I always found I could light a pipe reliably with matches; and used them for years, mostly because I could never fill the Old Boy correctly.

But when I graduated to cigars, I saw quickly that the amount of tobacco in a cigar to be managed was far greater than with a pipe, and for me that could be done best with a torch.

I took a few lessons from my tobacconist, and it was off to the races!

I bought a few of those hong kong, crack-torch looking things you can weld with, work great.

I've lost many a good lighter to Ronson fuel, I bought some Vector yesterday and the difference is amazing. I never knew about the filtered stuff until I read about it here. I've used matches but I've gotten a nasty sulfur taste from them even after letting them burn down, so they are out. Where do you buy your cedar spills? I don't think I've seen them at my B&M. Guess I'll look harder. Has anyone had any luck unclogging torch lighters, maybe using an ultrasonic cleaner?

The vast majority feel the wrath of my Blazer PB207.

A torch...

I'm lazy and appreciate instant gratification. I just want the damned thing lit. ;)
