Re: Lighter or matches?
I'll use whatever is handy at the time, although I do have a favorite soft-flame Xikar lighter.
If I'm using matches, I usually let it burn for a second or two before putting it to the cigar. It might be just me, but I like to wait until the sulfur smell is burned away first.

I'm going to smoke...

Re: Lighter or matches?
Great posts guys, it would be nice if some people could say more about taste differences, before I invest in a good torch, getting a good light and burn after going thru about 3 or 4 matches...

Re: Lighter or matches?
Bob is wise. And while I have not smoked nearly the number of cigars he has, I have smoked enough that I notice no difference in taste and use a torch as my preference but will use anything as the need dictates.

Re: Lighter or matches?
I have one lighter that the ignition is broken so sometimes I light the flame off a match
I use my torches unless I have to use a soft flame or a match because they're my only option. I have never noticed a taste difference before but the ease of the lighter wins for me. |

Re: Lighter or matches?
Alright, cool. I was told to avoid Bics because of the "harsh smell". I used a Zippo to light my pipe one time and...it tasted terrible. Wasted a bowl of Squadron Leader
