When it comes to lighting a cigar, a quality lighter can make all the difference.

Torch lighters, especially those made for cigars, provide an efficient, precise, and easy-to-control flame that allows you to light your cigar correctly.

Furthermore, without ruining its flavor or structure.

In this guide, we’ll explore how torch lighters work to ignite a cigar without the need to puff on the cigar.

On top of that, why rotation is essential during the lighting process.

Furthermore why Cigar Star multifunctional torch lighters provide a superior cigar experience.

How Torch Lighters Work for Cigar Lighting

Torch lighters have become the go-to choice for cigar enthusiasts for a few key reasons.

Unlike regular lighters, torch lighters use butane fuel and produce a clean, strong jet flame.

The precision and intensity of the flame make torch lighters ideal for lighting cigars, especially large ring gauge cigars, why?

Direct Heat: The jet flame is hotter and more direct than the flame of a typical lighter.

Which means you can ignite the cigar’s foot (the end you light) without needing to puff on the cigar.

This method is where you roll the cigar from side to side with just the tip of the flame touching the foot of your cigar.

Consistent Ignition: With the press of a button, you get a flame that stays consistent, even in windy conditions.

How to Light a Cigar

Torch lighters allow you to toast the cigar evenly without having to draw in with your mouth during the lighting process.

Instead of puffing, you can use the following method to achieve an even, smooth light:

Hold the Lighter at a Slight Distance:

Start by holding the torch lighter about half an inch to an inch from the cigar foot. This prevents scorching the cigar and helps preserve its flavor.

Rotate the Cigar for an Even Toast: Slowly rotate the cigar while holding the lighter steady. This ensures the flame evenly toasts the entire foot of the cigar, preventing one side from burning faster than the other. Uneven lighting can cause “canoeing,” where one side burns faster, negatively impacting the draw and overall experience.

Check the Burn: Once you’ve toasted the foot and the wrapper is uniformly glowing.

Bring the cigar to your mouth and take the first few puffs to ensure it’s fully lit.

This method preserves the flavor and aroma of your cigar without having to draw too hard or heat the cigar unevenly.

Why Proper Lighting Technique Matters

Using the correct lighting technique not only enhances the cigar experience but also maintains the cigar’s structure and flavor. Here’s why:

Preservation of Flavor: Lighting without puffing and rotating the cigar prevents overheating, which can produce a bitter or harsh taste.

Better Burn: By evenly toasting the foot, you create a more balanced burn that minimizes tunneling or canoeing, providing a smoother draw.

Improved Draw: An evenly lit cigar burns slower and more evenly, leading to an enjoyable, controlled smoke.
