I don't always smoke cigars, but when I do I use a torch lighter by LOTUS. Since the local Churchills store refills it at no cost, fuel is of no concern.

My favorite cigar is an AVO XO Intermezzo. It comes in a metal tube which includes cedar wrapping in the interior. It's true that using cedar to light the cigar is the most "flavor preserving" method, but when done properly the torch works well too. Butane lighters are the worst offenders, and when used to light a robusto length cigar the effects can really be tasted.

If you get the opportunity try a Quay Dorsay cigar. It's a Cuban that is made for shops in France. Outstanding!
