Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

Was curious if there was an issue using Zippo; sorry if this was answered already but when I searched did not turn up. I did read up on lighter posting but nothing mention about Zippo. I only ask because for Christmas received a really nice engraved Zippo for present and know they got it for me for cigar smoking. Comments, concerns I should know about?

Lighter fluid may impart some unwanted flavor on the cigar. Butane is your friend.

You can get a butane insert for it. Not sure how well they work.

Amazon and EEbay have them online. Look for "z insert".
