Choosing the lighter that’s right for your needs can be quite difficult. The number of different styles, models, flame configurations and types on the market can be a bit bewildering.
While smokers of cigarettes can make do with nearly any type of lighter, even matches, pipe and cigar smokers need a specific type of lighter to ensure their smoking enjoyment. For this group of smokers, the preferred choice is some kind of torch lighter. But, there are variations even among torch lighters and discerning whether you need a single, double or triple flame lighter can be difficult.
Torch lighters offer a number of advantages and determining which flame configuration you will need is the most important part of selecting a lighter. For cigarette smokers, a torch lighter with a single flame is sufficient while the double and triple flame lighters provide too much heat. For cigar and pipe smokers, double and triple flame torch lighter styles will be your best bet. The reason for this is because the wide area of the flame lends itself to lighting pipes and cigars.
For example, if cigars are your preference, double flame torch lighters provide an increased fire to tobacco contact, allowing for a more even and efficient lighting process. If pipes are your preference, triple flame lighters may be better. Triple flame lighters deliver a wide flame allowing you to ignite the entire pipe bowl. This lessens the chance of partial burns and tamping the tobacco repeatedly due to unburned contents. The use of these lighter styles is fairly easy and can help to make sure that whether you are smoking a pipe or cigar, that it is lit on the first try.
For instance, a torch lighter can be held upside down and the flame still projects directly out from the lighter. This is opposed to other types of lighters, where the flame always tends to move toward the upward position (a painful situation for your fingers). With this type of torch lighter, pipe smokers can ensure that they are able to light their bowl without singeing their fingers or lighting only half the tobacco in the bowl. As mentioned, cigar smokers can also benefit from double and triple torch lighters, as they can help ensure a cleaner, more even lighting process and keep runs and partial burns to a minimum.
