Cigar Lighters

Yes, some soft-flame models are designed to cope better with wind, but that does not make them jet lighters. A jet produces a more concentrated flame; wind resistance varies by model in both categories. Check the stated flame type and the maker's description rather than treating “windproof” as a separate flame type.

Technically, yes, although a pipe lighter is generally less convenient than a dedicated cigar lighter, or even a traditional straight one. Pipe lighters typically produce a soft flame angled sideways or downwards, designed to reach into a pipe bowl. This positioning can make it awkward to evenly toast the foot (i.e. the open end) of a cigar, particularly on larger sizes. In other words, it'll do in a pinch, but a cigar lighter typically offers a more practical flame position for achieving an even light.

Always check your lighter manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct butane and refill fitting. Most of the lighters we carry can be refilled using standard, widely available butane refills. Some refill cans also include adaptors to fit the proprietary refill valves used by certain manufacturers. If you’re unsure which refill you need, our team will be happy to help.
