These tips for the Newbies are *priceless*! Wish I knew them before I bought all the lighters and butane I've amassed.

Go Pack Go!

It would have to be full otherwise you'd get an uneven burn....

You sound like a star gazer yourself.

Z likes star gazers.

Tank forgot the biggest secret to getting an even burn when using the sun to light your cigars. One must also have a magnifying glass held at the end of it as well. This also speeds up the process when it is a full moon.

Everyone knows you can't go full "light off the sun."

Where do you get these great tips from. I actually did this in the hot sun. It was 120 degrees and I'll be darn, it lit. Awesome way to go when you have no light.

Thx again for the great tips.
