I absolutely hate lighting with a torch. So... Does anyone know any good soft-flame lighters? I'm thinking about picking up the Xikar EX: http://xikar.com/product_lighter_ex.asp
Has anyone had any experience with this lighter or does anyone want to chime in on another soft-flame lighter?

I heartily agree with you buddy. I've been wanting a soft-flame lighter for a long time. I've never used the Xikar EX, but have thought about it myself (just no money to pull the trigger). A soft-flame lighter that I love is the IM Corona Double Corona, but at $150 it'll be even longer before I get thAt one lol. You could just go with a Bic dude...

There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless — boys and women — and I am neither one.

I'd say go with a Bic or a cool variation that some gas stations would sell. (MAYBE A NASCAR ONE!!! vvvrrrrRRROOOOOM!)

Major, I have that lighter and love it. It has a massive gas tank and a very nice, steady flame. Check these links before you buy, might be able to get it a bit cheaper.

I have the Flintfire II and I love it, watch the auction sites to save some coin :)

I use a little butane lighter and I love it. I used to use a torch and I like the torch, but I get tired of refilling the fluid.

My friend bought be a prometheous something or other that has a soft flame. I never use it though. It has a punch built in on the bottom. I prefer my torches.

I have had a EX for a couple years and highly recommend it. It alway lights with no problem. You get a better more even light with the soft flame and it uses less fuel.

I don't mind lighting with a torch, but i prefer something else to light with entirely....

I went camping one time and didn't have my lighter with me, but wanted a cigar real bad. So I took our camping tongs and grabbed a burned-down red-hot coal out of the campfire and lit my stick with it. AWESOME! It was without a doubt the most perfectly lit cigar i'd ever had.

There was no flame, just the heat from the coal. All I did was touch it right on the end, pulled on it ONCE, and in less than two seconds I had a perfect cherry on the end.

I have used the inexpensive Djeep lighters sold at B & M's everywhere for years. They are like a nice Bic, and usually have a cigar logo on them. I currently have a Macanudo one, but have had many different ones. They are disposable and inexpensive.

I've been enjoying this one for a couple months now, no problems. I'll have a review on it very soon with two others I got with it. http://www.buylighters.com/Double-Flames-Slide-Lighter_p_693.html

That's a cool lighter. For that price it seems like a no brainer.
