Leave the first response December 11, 2009 / Posted in Lighter TipsAmong the most popular lighters on the market are the dual-flame models. These torches provide several advantages over their peers. They are very reliable and can light in adverse conditions. They are excellent choices for cigars and pipes because of their even heating area. The powerful high-pressure jets ensure windproof performance. The lighter’s use of butane fuel ensures that users need not worry about creating a mess every time they replace the fuel.
Lighters with more than one flame are preferred by some cigar smokers as they provide a wider heating area for the cigar. This helps to produce a more even light and can make the complex affair of lighting a cigar easier. These devices generally constitute the more expensive lighters on the market and many of them produce the distinctive blue flames that characterize very high-quality lighters. These lighters are, of course, more complex than their single-flame cousins.
Multi-jet torches allow a cigar smoker a valuable commodity: an even heating surface. Lighting either a cigar requires that one heat the tobacco before actually igniting it. The multi-flame torches provide a wide surface area on which this can be done. They also produce a very controllable flame. Users will find this to be the case even in high-wind conditions.
When lighting a cigar, the smoker first has to toast the foot of the cigar to ensure that it lights evenly. This is much easier when one has a wide surface area on which to warm the tobacco. The dual-flame lighters produce this even heat which ensures that one’s cigar lights properly and smokes smoothly every time. The butane fuel ensures that there is no chemical taste imparted to the tobacco when it is lit. There are additional advantages to the dual-flame models, as well. Many of these will be good news to those who enjoy having a cigar in the outdoors.
Twin-flame lighters are also very popular for outdoor applications. The high-pressure blue jets of flame are very wind-resistant and ensure proper lighting in the most adverse conditions. The two flames also produce a remarkable amount of heat which makes them well-suited for uses such as starting campfires and other outdoor activities. The durability of these lighters ensures that their users don’t have to worry about than failing when they are used in the outdoors.
