If you are a cigar smoker seeking advice on how to make the most of your smoking experience, look no further. Even experienced cigar smokers have questions on what smoking accessories are best or what is the best way to cut a cigar tip. One common question that comes up is what type of fuel to use to light premiums cigars. While some cigar smokers report no difference between lighting their cigars with Zippo lighter fluid and butane liquefied gas, others report a large difference. You will need to understand the difference between standard lighter fluid and other liquefied gases and test each type of fuel before you can make the best decision.

Zippo- A Premium Brand Using Not So Premium Lighter Fluids

Zippo is one of the most popular lighter brands in the nation. With over 70 years in the industry, Zippo is a name that all avid smokers trust. While the company does offer a windproof lighter that can stand the test of time, the fuel used in Zippo lighters may diminish your smoking experience. Contrary to popular belief, Zippo lighters use lighter fluid to achieve a windproof flame that does not go out. The lighter fluid used in a Zippo lighter emits an oily substance and a slight odor when the lighter is lit. The slight odor emitted from the lighter can affect the taste of your smoke depending on how observant you are. If Zippos affect the taste of cigars, what type of fuel should you use?

Odorless Gas Makes for a Better Smoking Experience

If you have tested your Zippo lighter and you do notice a pungent taste when you smoke your cigars, you taste the lighter fluid. If you want to taste the cigar and not the fuel used to light your cigar, invest in torch lighters that use either propane or butane liquefied gas. Propane and butane gases are bother odorless gases that burn hot. These gases burn at high temperatures to ensure your cigar will burn evenly throughout the whole course of the smoke.

Does Zippo’s New Lighter Fluid Work Well?

To compete with butane and propane torch lighters, Zippo has released a new premium lighter fluid that is low in odor and clean burning. The premium lighter fluid does emit a slight odor; however, the odor is much less than the standard fluid. One problem with this fluid is that it does not burn as hot as the standard fluid used. This affects how the cigar burns during your smoke.

If you want the best smoking experience, invest in a torch lighter using either butane or propane gas. If you have tested lighter fluid and you do not notice a difference then you have become accustomed to the taste. Do your homework, ask fellow smoking buddies, and make a wise investment.
