I’ve tried several different cigar lighters and most of them crap out after a few weeks. They’re not out of lighter fluid (butane), I refill that. But, most of them, the actual sparking element stops working or the button breaks.

I’ve found that single flame lighters tend to last longer. The triple flame lighters never last.

What does the average OT baller’s personal assistant use to light his (or her) cigars?

Here’s my personal cigar lighter for comparison sake:

If you buy the branded Mayan Import Company butane torch they’ll fix or replace it for you if it goes bad.

Cigar matches are also a great option.

I buy whatever is the cheapest offering at my online place when I'm ordering. Usually about $4 and single flame. Those SOBs last forever. Found one outdoors from a few years ago that one of my kids had conscripted for a burn pile igniter. Still going strong. I've had folks give me high end lighters, but I've had better luck with the cheap single torch refillables.

Like most everything else cigar accessory related, Xikar is the best. I’ve been using a soft flame lately to light my cigars instead of a torch lighter.

Stay away from Xikar now. They went to absolutely shite after they got bought out.

I have one “nice” Xikar lighter, I’ve been having for about 5 years for when I go out.

But the rest of the time I use long matches (if the wind is calm), or the big torch lighters from the Dollar General.

They are like $4, and they come with a tank full of fuel. When they go empty, I just toss it.

Xikar. Ive had one 15 years. Triple burners work like a Swiss watch.

Just get in a boat and throw your cigar overboard

That will make the boat a cigar lighter

Xikar.


Lifetime warranty. Had a nice double burner for 7 years that the element finally gave up on (had been abused and never cleaned), they replaced it for free no questions asked.

Post in here. May get more responses.

I personally use a barrel type lighter, about 3" tall by 2' wide. Was a promotional item that was free with the purchase of a NUB sampler pack.

I like cigar matches or even the leftover cedar from cigar boxes.
