What are the advantages of using a Blue Flame lighter to light my cigar?
Lighting your cigar is an important factor in ensuring that your cigar will taste as it was ment to taste! Blue Flame cigar lighters produce a hot, oderless or neutral flame which protects the delicate tabacco flavours. The high temperature and the possibility to horizontally position the lighter enables you to light your cigar in a way that it will burn evenly. [Back to FAQs]
How should I light my cigar with a Blue Flame lighter?
After cutting your cigar - if applicable - first heat up the end of the cigar by placing the cigar in a horizontal position in one hand and putting your lighter in a horizontal position in your other hand. Never light a cigar while holding it in your mouth. Rotate the cigar against the flame until it is glowing. It is not necessary to put your cigar into the flame. The flame heat at 3 or 4 cm from the nozzle is enough to light it. Once it is glowing, draw and enjoy your evenly lit smoking delight. Always take your time to light you cigar. Make sure it is completely lit on the inside and outside. If not completely lit, the inner filler will burn faster than the binder or the cigar will burn unevenly. Both will compromise the taste.

How should I maintain my cigar lighter?
Ashes are your biggest enemy. Avoid ashes from falling into the flame nozzle. Clean regularly with compressed air and do not store your lighter empty. For further details see our Maintenance and Storage Sections. [Back to FAQs]
