Cigar Band Lighters- I never knew!

Dukeuni · 09-01-2009, 11:53 AM

I was just reading "The Smoking Stogie- Cigar Reviews" at http://www.smokingstogie.com/ and read about custom made cigar band lighters. Looks like you can put your bands on Zippos and Ronson's. http://squidslighters.wordpress.com/

Sounds like they hold-up pretty well. While I would never use a Zippo to light my cigars, the Ronson looks like a neat idea. I also think the Opus X light looks great.

Just thought I would pass this around to other BOTL who might find it interesting, and also a project to try ourselves!

MODS- I am not sure if this is supposed to be in the retailer section or not, since the Cigar Band Lighter site is a retailer. If so, please move it to the correct forum. Thanks!

Remember there's that jet flame insert made by Z-plus that you can swap in for like 10 bucks. I've got one in a zippo I love.

I am a Ronson Guy and this is neat. Thanks for the post!

Some of those look pretty good...others not so much.

I always thought it would be cool to be able to buy a gold ring in the shape of your fave cigar band..although some would be like knuckle dusters!
