 The Cuban leader Fidel Castro, a revolutionary Che Gevara, politicians Winston Churchill and Bill Clinton, writers Somerset Maugham and Mark Twain, the actor and the political figure Arnold Schwarzenegger – these names are well-known and these figures are best known to the world for their political, social, literary and other achievements. Moreover, the abovementioned people highly esteem cigar smoking and, thus, they come as people who own the greatest number of tools and accessories so requisite for this leisurely process and among others there are cigar lighters.
Peculiarities about lighters
One of the most significant steps in cigar smoking is the very process
of lighting. Some cigar smokers prefer using matches or special cedar
spills so essential for this process in their opinion, which is the a
long strip of Spanish cedar lit with whatever you have to light it and
used then to light the cigar. This is one of the appreciated techniques
while you are relaxing and enjoying you after-meal time but not when you
drive a car, for example. Cigar smokers can get these spills paced in
boxes marketed everywhere in special places to part cigars with every
single spill for a single use. Cigars are too sensitive to odor and use
of gasoline lighters is not good to spoil the flavor of the smoke. So,
butane lighters are more preferred. Any other flame sources as the
burning piece of paper or a candle is a bad idea to use.
Currently there are various lighters designed for cigar smokers. Some of
these lighters are specially equipped with a cutter and cigar scissors,
while there are people who prefer using bullet punch cutters for
cutting round holes in the cigar head. This is very comfortable though
most cigar smokers avoid getting such universal tools in fear that they
will have to get a new lighter if any of the utter parts are invalid.
Lighter manufacturers commit to improve their products towards
ergonomics (making them cylinder-shaped or tube-shaped) and reducing the
weight of them due to manufacture of tiny details. So, many lighters
today that work on gas have the gas sector with the capacity of one
gram, which is sufficient to light about fifty cigars. By the expert
opinion, the best cigar lighters are manufactured by Prometeus (American
Company specializing in production of multifunctional lighters),
Colibri (he British manufacturer), Sarome (Japan), Dupont (France) and
many others.
Simple to complex process
Cigar lighting is the kind of ritual important to follow every single
step, lots of conventionalities and rules to be the perfect cigar
smoker. The most significant factor to keep is the time spent to cigar
lighting. The process of lighting is quite complicated itself taking
some time. The tip of the cigar head should be previously cut with the
special cutter and only then the sacred process of lighting comes.
Cigar smoke should not be inhaled, especially the strong ones. The smoke
is kept in the mouth enjoying its taste and odor. Experts suppose that
the best cigar time is after the meal accompanied by such beverages as
brandy, ale, espresso, bourbon or Scotch whisky. If the cigar is faded,
light it again slowly blowing out the smoke in the cigar from the
previous drawings. Cigar smoking is the long process until it is smoked
till the end tip, but they can be smoked for the one third, either. It
is not recommended that you crash or put out a cigar – it is left to die
out by itself with the time.
Cigars require respectful and thoughtful attitude. Cigars are never
smoked while the person is in the rush or riving somewhere. Cigars are
better to smoke in specially designed places equipped with accessories
and appropriate interior design to relax. Lighters of high quality and
performance are specially designed to light cigars while concentrated on
the very process of lighting, relax and enjoy smoking.
