I have used a Zippo in years past, but found that if the lighter had been recently filled I could taste the fluid, but if it had been several days since it was filled and had been used regularly, I didn't notice the fluid taste. But primarily I used a Bic lighter, the flame isn't too hot, and you never put the flame directly into the end anyway. You hold the flame close to the end and inhale the flame into the cigar end, just like a kitchen match.
