Quad torch... are you welding or lighting a cigar?

Peter James.  I have one and it's fantastic.

I had a Xikar Stratosphere, keyword had. Nowadays, I usually have a plain old BIC lighter with me most of the time. Seems to get the job done and serves a second purpose of opening beer bottles.

I LOVE my FoH lighter. I think it’s the way you grip it, compared to more conventional lighters. Seems more natural to me.

Lotus Black Label Dictator Flat Flame.  I like the flat flame, it good for "painting" when lighting.

Ronson Jet-Lite.

Inexpensive, consistent and easy to find.

Personally, I prefer cigar matches.  I find it is too easy to burn the wrapper with a butane lighter and prefer the slower toasting a match gives.  However, outside it is usually not practical to use a match and I go with a Alec Bradly triple torch lighter I got for free.  Been working well for three years; outlasted a Xikar lighter that I got and broke after only a couple months.

Great conversation starter!

[Lotusguy]

I used this the other day when my lighter ran out of gas in the garage. It was a very delicate balance between burning off the hair on my fingers and lighting the cigar but it worked.

Also a fan of the Ronson Jetlite.  I'm working on my third Jetlite in the past 7+ years.  Super cheap and not bad style for under $5.  I also like using a soft flame bic for touch-ups as sometimes it can be hard to see the torch flame in the day time... I hate getting a torched wrapper

[TheMonk]

I really like my Dupont MaxiJet, but don't usually take it with me when I smoke outside, for that I have a few cheap two flame torches based on the design of the Xikar ELX.

[Riverstyx]

I primarily use Xikar Volta tabletop at home, but bring my Partagas lighter I bought in Cuba when smoking elsewhere.

After too much money spent on lighters, I find myself always going back to the cheapo $4 Ronson or 6$ Uper. Go figure, could have saved myself a lot of $$....

[RijkdeGooier]

Dupont ?

[Ouftastic]

I prefer a soft flame if possible as I find my cigars burn better. All other time I use my single jet xikar.

Maybe the worse lighter ever!  Crazy expensive, breaks constantly.  Now comes with a warning that if used for more than 10 seconds, it will damage the lighter.  They charge you to fix it and they charge you to ship it both to them and back!  I don't know how this company survives!  Xikar all the way.

Or a Ronson from WalMart

To each their own. It's been bullet proof for over two years now. Have you owned one in the past?

Jetline quad or triple lighter. Under $20 and smoked with the same one for years now. Don’t even waste my time with anything fancy anymore after my $200 Dupont crapped out for a second time.

Same here, must have lighted a thousand cigars with mine and still going like new. Obviously anecdotal evidence, I have heard the manufacturing quality changed at some point... 

[Monterey]

They changed their process in 2015.  Any lighter prior to that seems to run great, since then, nothing but garbage.  They don't stand behind their product, red flag.

Wife got it for me a few months ago. I love it. 

[Oscar300]

I use a ligne 2 table lighter, that must be 20 years old, everyday when im inside.  Maxijet when im outside and a minijet when im at a wedding/need a small lighter.  Love them all.

 

The wife got me a ligne 2 in rose gold with the double flame for christmas, I love it, but dont use it.  Far to nice to use, its like a piece of art.  Will use it one day.
