Back in the day, when I used to smoke fancy cigars pretty regularly, I was always told by cigar afficionados that fine cigars should never be lit by anything requiring lighter fluid. Preferably not Bic lighters, either, because they took too long to light and saturated the tobacco with unneeded butane. Matches were the best way to go in order to retain the rich flavor of the cigars when lighting up, and butane torches were second in line since they'd light them quicker.

I'm much more partial to pipes for my mj, so matches probably aren't the best idea for me most of the time. Anyway, I love mah mini-torch too much to let it go... plus, the damn thing cost me $100 from - yep, you guessed it - the cigar store!:jointsmile:
