    I've started my cigar journey with zippos. I always use lighter fluid by zippo and I haven't even once tasted the fluid. I even offered it to my cigar smoking friends and they only tasted the cigar so idc what other cigar smokers say I am using my zippo to light cigars.

    A good video for proper cigar lighters! New Subscriber. I *l o v e* my newest DuPont soft flame. If one finds themselves at a quiet classy function or location where you prefer to be more discreet, you can always open the DuPont lighter with two hands or slow roll open to mute the opening sound which is so beautiful it's music to my ears every time I hear it open! Those lighters (1 single soft & 1 dual soft flame Ive purchased over the last 5 years) never fail me!

    lighters don’t clog except for years of heavy use. Torches do. Cleaning is so easy but I have so many parts I just swap them out. Its quick but it takes forever to learn everything lighters. The jets are just a screen and a see through alloy.metal disk. Anything that burns leaves carbon.

The point is that if you choose a butane lighter, that potential problem goes away entirely. It's a recommendation, not a law. You can also put a butane lighter in your humidor or cigar travel pouch, which I absolutely wouldn't do with a zippo.
