What’s the best way to light a Cigar?

As a cigar-smoking lover, having a torch lighter that can be used repeatedly for a long time can reduce my troubles. I don’t like to use disposable lighters, lighting my cigar is a laborious task. According to a report saying that plastic lighters cause a lot of environmental pollution every year, so I’m trying to treat this earth as kindly as possible.

One of the best ways to light up your cigar is to use a butane lighter. These types of lighters are very suitable for people who smoke cigars, especially butane lighters with concentrated firepower can prevent the taste of cigars from being contaminated by impurities.

Used this great hack to bring your lighter back to life

If you are using a torch jet lighter for cigar smoking, or just use a butane lighter for home use. It is also important to learn about the cleaning method of the lighter, which can ensure that the lighter can work normally for a long time. Well, actually, I was not very familiar with these techniques from the beginning, I also experienced the same troubles as you are now.

The first thing when cleaning the lighter, you need to do is to lower the flame of the lighter. The main reason for this is related to your personal safety. It is very important to be extra careful every time you clean the lighter to avoid severe burns. Make sure to set the length of the flame to the minimum flame setting, so as not to cause the flame to catch fire for some reason and not burn or burn badly.

Next step, using a matchstick. You will take the wooden end of the match (the non-ignitable end), turn the light over, and paste it into the butane valve. Once the matchstick is inserted, press it. If you are not sure where the butane valve is on the lighter, place it at the other end of the bottom of the ignition device. While pressing, you will hear a faint hissing sound, it’s because the air inside the lighter is released from the inside. Do this several times until all the air is released.

Using a can of compressed air can help you clean the combustion chamber of the jet flame lighter. If you want to remove all dust and other contaminants that may enter this part of the lighter. If the combustion chamber accumulates too much dust and debris, then it will clog and cannot be ignited.

Finally, wipe the entire lighter with a soft cloth, make sure that the cloth is dry and completely clean. If you should have to refill the lighter during cleaning, this will wipe away any excess butane that might have spilled onto the lighter.

Whatever, if you’re new to this and have not to try gas lighter so far, here you could see Jobon butane torch lighters in Man’s Toolbox. If this tutorial saved you from curb stomping the torch lighter and spending more money on another, please feel free to share it. For any questions, leave a comment below.
