How do you light up?

Zippo with a jet insert

Lit my cigar yesterday with matches and I couldn't get it going properly. I guess I am impatient but gas works for me. I have a 'cooks burner' as well for the really difficult buggers.

90% butane jet, occasional matches and soft flame lighter.

1% using the 'rub two boy scouts together and wait for sparks' method

And I take it you toast the foot now also....

Hehehe.....

Matches in doors, Dupont out doors...

Due to all the responses above, Im curious, what butane jet lighters are you all using? Might be a good investment for some outdoors smoking!

I did a bit of searching, and I found a similar post, however, the last comment was a two and a half years ago, and therefore I thought it might be a good idea to start a new one, as those involved in the previous post may have changed their methods!

So...How do you light up? And what are your reasons behind this?

I am with you on this Detroit, partly because I cant be arse with buying a butane ligher but also because I like the ritual of lighting up with matches.

I smoke outside nowadays so wind can be an issue, if its bad I just step into the garden shed and light up there.... taking great care not to burn the bloody thing down of course.


Me:

I use matches. I have always like using matches, I like the fact they take a bit of time and a bit of effort. There is something about that, that helps me to start relaxing ahead of the smoke. I normally toast the foot first, before heading for a full light. This normally does the job without any hassle! Obviously this isn't ideal in some conditions (high winds outdoors), however I haven't found myself in one of these situations yet, so its yet to be a problem.

Oops! Somehow managed to write my reply in the middle of your quote Detroit...
