That seems like a lot of trouble to go through on something you're going to light on fire in order to light something else on fire. I'll use them when they're free in a box or wrapped around a cigar, but I wouldn't ever actually pay for them.

Could be a cheaper alternative to having her light them.

I read here a few weeks ago about someone using the wooden coffee stirrers as a spill. I tried it and while it worked, it was just not efficient. give me a nice torch lighter and I'm set.

Agreed, if I had a high end type of private lounge, I might order some with the name printed on them for members to use.

thats how i light all my cigars that come with cedar on them.

on occasion i have had the opportunity to do so on other cigars. i like lighting that way but i have a hard time paying good money for the spills. matches seem to work if you have the need to light off of wood. i usually light with a soft flame lighter and that is almost identical to a cedar spill.

I have a solo cup full of cedar strips for lighting. I mean because you can usually score some cedar from cigar boxes, i would never pay for spills.

I always use a spill if available. When I first started smoking cigars I was immediately turned off by the taste of butane for the first quarter of the cigar. Once you get in the habit it takes only a few more seconds than a butane lighter. I'm not one of those guys will tell you I taste nutmeg or cinnamon in a cigar, but I can taste butane and sulfur. I would very much like to have something to carry around spills, maybe attach to my travel humidor or something.

Interesting since butane is totally odorless and tasteless.

You are correct, Chutney.

He likely is thinking of Naphtha, which they make lighter fluid (zippo type), which is a a distillation product from petroleum and does have odor and flavor.

Don't know what your friend charges, but at the prices I've seen for some of them, you might as well use dollar bills to light your cigars.

I believe cedar inserts for boxes are first compressed, then run through so much acid and bleach that it is hardly wood anymore. Then I see people lighting up their cigars with it.


The "better" taste people associate with cedar spill as opposed to say, butane, is probably attributed to temperature. Butane combusts at a very high temperature around 2000F-3500F, much higher than say, a match at around 1300F. Butane completely incinerates anything it comes in contact with, whereas matches and other lighting mechanism - this might be extremely broscience, but I prefer matches - tends to allow the hygroscopic organic compound (tobacco) to burn at a lower temperature, release more flavor and scents.
