Cigar Lighter - Choosing the Right Cigar Lighter

Having decided to become one of the smoking elite and spent a great deal of time in your local tobacconist's humidor choosing that special cigar. You have finally found one that has the right smell and feel when you pick it up now you might think that you have mastered all there is to know about smoking a cigar.

However this is just the beginning as there is still plenty more to learn, from how to buy the right humidor for storing your new favourite cigars to choosing the right cigar lighter to light your favourite cigars.

For those of you who prefer an old school but ultimately reliable cigar lighter there are hundreds of different Zippo lighters available on the market, They come in various painted designs or with fancy engraving on them. If you really want to personalize one you can get one that is gold plated and have whatever you want engraved on it. These make the perfect gift to give to a fellow cigar smoker as you can make it his own personal lighter with a special message or his name engraved on it.

You can spend as little or as much as you want to on a good cigar lighter as they can run from a few pounds to hundreds such as the Colibri Vortex II that is made from handcrafted silver, claims to be wind resistant and comes with its own built in cigar punch.
