What do you guys use to light your sticks? I've heard a bunch of different opinions (and I'm sure some, if not most, of you will say it doesn't make a difference) -- Matches, soft-flame lighter, torch lighter, triple flame, etc. etc.

I remember seeing this video a while back and it has always had me thinkin:

I'm more of a pipe smoker as of now (maybe things will change!) and there is a hardcore following of people for matches, based part on tradition and part on the temperature of the flame -- here I go with my science background: matches burn at about 700ºC, whereas a butane torch burns at upwards of 2000ºC. Cigar tobacco burns around 600ºC, which why I was thinking matches might be better (even though it takes much much longer to toast it right).

Just a thought!

Five Euro notes normally.

(Sometimes a stick dipped in used motor oil)

Torch to light the match, which lights the cedar spill which lights the $100 bill which lights the cigar.

Absolutely NO deviations.

Hey House, you may want to do search on this item. However you chose to light your cigar is fine, just get it lit and take it from there. Personal preference is probably all that counts. I use a cheapo "Bic" and it works for me. Matches, butanes lighters, whatever it takes. just my 2 cents.
