Choosing the Best Fuel for Your Cigar Lighter
Posted by Dave Sabot under: Golf .
Smoking a cigar is generally an experience where individuals take great pains to make certain the flavor is all it should be. Cigars can be quite pricey and some of the more exotic types aren't always available which means they can be an occasion in and of themselves.
There are several ways by which one determines which fuel is the best, depending on whether one is dealing with liquid or gaseous fuel. First and foremost, only fuel specifically designed to fuel lighters should be used.
The nozzle on a can of butane is designed to fit perfectly with the receiver on a refillable lighter. Anything that doesn't quite fit is most certainly not the correct fuel and one should not attempt to make it work by force. This can ruin the lighter as much as can using the incorrect fuel.
Butane torch lighters have rapidly become the most popular way to light cigars among aficionados. These lighters impart no taste at all as the gaseous fuel is consumed very efficiently by the lighter. There are different grades of fuel available but, where butane lighters advertise no impurities, it's not so much a question of whether or not the fuel will be tasted as it is a question of reliability and taking care of the lighter itself. These lighters are available in exotic designs which feature double and triple flames, upscale styling and beautiful finishes. They have become favorites among dedicated cigar smokers.
Remember that any lighter fuel, gas or liquid, is dangerous. It should always be stored safely and lighters should always be refilled in an area where it is safe to do so. For liquid-fueled lighters, this means refilling over a sink where any spilled fluid can be washed away. Butane refueling is much cleaner but there is the hazard of having gas escape during the fueling process. Make certain there are no sparks or open flames around when refueling lighters of any type. A properly-maintained lighter burning high-quality fuel can easily last for a lifetime and represents a sensible investment for anyone.
