About This Product

The Xikar Ardore Double Soft Flame Lighter combines the character of traditional flint-wheel ignition with a modern twin-flame design created for cigar lighting. Two soft flames converge to produce a broad, gentle flame, helping provide even coverage across the foot of a cigar without the concentrated heat of a torch lighter.

Its slim metal body and distinctive roller-bar ignition give the Ardore an elegant, classic-inspired appearance, while refillable butane operation makes it practical for regular use. Compact enough for carrying and refined enough for the desktop, it offers cigar smokers a sophisticated alternative to conventional jet-flame lighters.

How to Use
  1. Refill the lighter: Hold the Ardore upside down and press a suitable butane refill nozzle firmly into the filling valve. Allow the fuel to settle before ignition.
  2. Open the lighter: Lift the protective cap to expose the twin soft-flame burners.
  3. Ignite: Operate the roller-bar flint mechanism firmly to generate a spark and light the burners.
  4. Toast the cigar: Hold the cigar just above the flames and slowly rotate it, allowing the heat to toast the foot evenly without placing it directly into the flame.
  5. Complete the light: Bring the cigar to your mouth and draw gently while continuing to rotate it above the broad double flame.
  6. Check the burn: Inspect the foot and touch up any unlit areas as necessary.
  7. Extinguish: Close the lighter after use to extinguish both flames.
Care & Maintenance
  • Wipe the exterior regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and surface marks.
  • Clean around the twin burner outlets gently with a soft brush to prevent dust and debris from accumulating.
  • Inspect the ignition mechanism periodically and remove loose flint dust where accessible.
  • Replace the flint when the roller no longer produces a strong, consistent spark.
  • Refill with high-quality refined butane to help maintain clean and reliable burner performance.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, metal polishes and harsh chemicals that could damage the exterior finish.
  • Store in a clean, dry location away from excessive heat.
Safety & Handling
  • Refill only with suitable butane gas, away from flames, sparks and other ignition sources.
  • Allow residual gas to disperse after refilling before attempting ignition.
  • Keep away from children, direct sunlight and excessive heat.
  • Avoid touching the burners or surrounding metal immediately after use, as these areas can become hot.
  • Never ignite the lighter if it appears damaged or is leaking gas.
  • Extinguish both flames completely before carrying or storing the lighter.
