Hello -

I looked around on the forum, but I did not find any information related to this. I have previously lit my pipe with matches or a soft flame butane.

Today I picked up a Zippo lighter with the intent on purchasing a butane insert for lighting cigars, but I saw one that was labeled as a "pipe lighter." I sprung for it thinking it might be a nice pipe lighter instead. I also picked up some Zippo fuel, but it is certainly not odorless in comparison to butane fuel. Cool design though. I definitely won't burn my fingers like before.

Finally to my question....Do you guys think the "odor" will affect the taste of my tobacco? Or should I just buy the butane insert and light up some cigars with it? Just looking for an opinion since I haven't tried it out yet. I'm from Syracuse, NY and its in the 20's outside!!!
