Like many of you, I used to be into every new 'lighter'/cigar accessory.
One of the 'perks' of my job is that I accumalated a virtual drawer-full of lighters over the years--all gratis. Then, about 5 years ago I visited our factories in Nicaragua and Honduras for the first time.
When I saw people like Nestor Plasencia, Fidel Olivas, Carlos Torano, et al--giants in the tobacco industry--all using a simple bic lighter to light their cigars, I said to myself, "who are YOU to use a (insert-triple-flame-hi-tech-gizmo-of-the-moment-lighter-with-GPS-system here)?!"
Ever since that trip, I've only carried a simple bic in my pocket for daily use. Incidentally, you'd be hard-pressed to find a 'cutter' at the factory--nearly everyone 'pinches' the caps off their cigars down there.
