Help! Best non-torch lighter?

Seriously James?

Are you trying to light the cigar while it's in your mouth? If so, I can understand you burning it. Also, is the lighter you're using triple or double torch? If so, you may want to stick with single. Hold the stick in your hand and turn it as you light the cigar, blow on the foot until it's all red.

I still burn cigars trying to light them when they're in my mouth, so I seldom do it.

No its not in my mouth (thats what she said)! It doesn't happen every time either...just some of the time (even though I do it the same way every time). I never had any problem before I used a torch lighter (and it is a single torch). Maybe I am just lighter retarded!

Maybe check out the Lotus 2500. It is both a torch and soft flame. I absolutely love this thing. Every time I pull it out at a herf it becomes the herf community lighter because everyone loves it. http://www.pipesandcigars.com/lo25se.html

That looks good as well. Thanks!

I go back & forth between my torches (Blazer & Walmart Ronson) and my Bic. I don't have any problem with either.
Just use different techniques, depending on which one I use.
If you're having problems with a torch, just reach for a Bic. No worries.

I've been wondering the same thing, everyone seems to have a favorite cheap torch, which for me is far and away the ronson jetlite, of which I have a zillion of them and love them. I am looking for a cheap refillable, hammer reliable, soft flame lighter. Not to threadjack, but I'm interested in this too....
