But there are two lighters I’ve been using, literally for years, and both are my workhorses for everyday cigar smoking: the Blazer Piezo Micro Torch and the Blazer ES-1000. And at prices above $100, it too is an investment. Not having owned one, I can’t attest to its reliability. I’ve used this lighter and it seems to works well. One popular model is the Vector Megapump. But everyday cigar smoking lends itself more to a tabletop lighter. Although relatively expensive ($150 street price), it’s an investment worth making. The only such lighter I’ve been satisfied with is the S.T. That’s not a lot to ask, but over the years I’ve been amazed at how many pocket lighters fail within the first few months of use. But ultimately, what we cigar smokers require from a lighter is universal: a solid flame that lights each and every time we pull the trigger. We all have our preferences, and there are lots of lighter styles from which to choose. Finding the right cigar lighter is a personal matter.
