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...

MY toys: S.T. DuPont lighter, ashtray, and cutter. Full 5000ct cabinet humi, including 20 cigar boxes split among OpusX, GoF, 1964, and HMR.

All of the above according to my home insurance policy.. Someone come rob me ;-)

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.

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.

"Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence." - Henrik Tikkanen

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.

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