Cigar Spills

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.
