Should You Light Your Cigar with a Zippo?
Those new to
cigar smoking have quite a few things to learn about enjoying this particular pastime. One of the most important things to learn is what can be used to light those wonderful cigars. Some new smokers buy Zippo
lighters and use these to light up. However, if you're contemplating this, you should change your mind. Zippo
lighters are not a good option for those who enjoy the taste and aroma of a good cigar. Why is this? Why should you avoid Zippos? The reason you should avoid these lighters is because of the fuel they burn. These lighters use standard lighter fluid, which is filled with impurities. When burned, this fuel releases those impurities as odors and tastes, most of which are not remotely nice. When you use such a lighter to fire up your cigar, you risk allowing those odors and tastes to make their way into your cigar, ruining the taste and smell that you want. Rather than Zippos or other lighter fluid filled devices, it's better to make use of modern technology. Butane torch lighters can give you numerous benefits. For instance, these lighters use butane, rather than lighter fluid, which helps to ensure you only taste that cigar. Butane has almost zero impurities, which means that it does not have a taste or smell. You'll be happy to know that using these lighters ensures you only taste tobacco. Other options are certainly available for your needs as well. You can use matches, or you can use matches in conjunction with cedar shavings. Some diehard
cigar lovers swear by cedar shavings, mostly because they offer flavor enhancement for cigars. Of course, using these is not possible when you're out and about, or when you're smoking in a breeze. Therefore, butane lighters are not only an important consideration, but the only way that you can ensure you are able to light up even in windy conditions. Hopefully, you can see that the use of Zippos is not a good idea and will result in a subpar smoking experience. Save your cigar's flavor and aroma by using a quality butane lighter. You will find that purchasing a dual or triple jet lighter will even help ensure that you're able to light that
cigar on the first try every time.

Good cheaper macanudo cigar alternative?
I see the price of my macanudo hampton courts has risen again. They are getting way too expensive so I thought I would look for a very similar comparative cigar that wouldn't burn a hole in my wallet. any thoughts? Thanks John

Dump that old 2004 Ferrari & upstage to a new Maserati!!! Dump those cheep Roi-Tan Bankers & purchase FINE Macanudo cigars at 35.00$ a clip!
The good part is ALL that time ya have now to enjoy all these now available "little" pleasures of life, & we owe it all to Obama & company! Well my fellow Full Status Big Shots(FSBS's), I won't be dining with ya at the local five star hotel & resort tonight because MY stimulus check has not arrived in my ole mailbox yet. BUT, when it does I'll order in my new Maserati & catch up with ya all down at the local five star!
Till then, why not relate your story on how Obama & company & those GENEROUS stimulus "packages" helped you move up the ladder!
Apparently the AIG employees ALREADY received their stimulus bonuses, ours have to be right around the corner then, right?! See ya at the local five star hotel & resort, till then keep checking your mailbox!
