RE: Reliable Cigar Lighter?

This question surfaces on a regular basis. I believe that the only truly reliable lighters (barring a Zippo) are the flint lighters. I suggest the ST Dupont, Davidoff ot Dunhill lighters with a cigar flame. Also the Savinelli (Corona) pipe lighter is great. As far as torches go I doubt that any one will last a lifetime like the aforementioned lighters will. I bought a Dupont Extend which failed quickly, although others have had very good luck with this model. I currently have a Colibri Triplex which is working very well. I also buy cheap torches for $5 - $6.00 which usually last 6 months or so. At that price they are fine and I like to keep one in the car and at the office. I believe a great lighter should have heft and style and last a lifetime. The better flint lighters fit the bill. Otherwise I would just go with cheap torches and buy a couple a year. JMHO.

RE: Reliable Cigar Lighter?

I have to agree with Steve. If you're looking for a lighter to last forever, it must be a flint and butane lighter... Dupont, Dunhill, Savinelli IM Corona, etc. If you go with torches, I believe it's a crap shoot. I personally won't spend more than 10-15 bucks on a torch. I have a 12 dollar Prince Pocket torch that has been working for almost 3 years, and I've had some torches last 1 week. So I personally recommend going cheap when buying torches, and investing in flint/butane lighters if you want something nice.

RE: Reliable Cigar Lighter?

I was the last one to ask this in fact...

I ended up buying a hobby torch made by benzomatic at the local Home Depot.

It has the advantage of having the ridiculously hot flame but not having the heat issues of the smaller lighters.

It's small but not TINY, so a portable lighter is another issue, but it's very handy to have around the house.

80 minute burn time too.

Rob.
