soft flame lighter

[newbie]

hey guys just wondering does anyone on here have one of these. I personally prefer matches to light a cigar but thats quite difficult because I smoke outside and live in the north east. now I do have a single flame jet and that can actually get blown out up here but usually when it is that windy its impossible to smoke anyway. I am looking at the colibri julius I think that looks quite cool. Where do you all buy matches from can't seem to find them on cgars or online

Have a search online for lighters that can switch between soft and jet flame, I believe there are a few on the market.

As far as matches go the long matches sold in supermarkets for lighting fires, bbqs etc are fine, just make sure you wait for the head of the match to completely burn so that it doesn't taint the flavour.

My favorite lighter is a Dunhill my grandmother gave me 35 years ago on my 20 birthday. But being a soft flame it doesn't often get used, unfortunately not much good for cigars if smoking outside, so I tend to carry a jet flame around and even when I smoke inside unless I think about it I forget to get it out.

I was very kindly bombed one of these by BenSV650 :

It's my favourite lighter by a country mile, but cack all use outside unfortunately.

would the soft flame not work even if its say in a beer garden or sheltered, I'm not thinking of taking one across the lake district or something

Any soft flame has to be very sheltered - so it could possibly be used outside on a calm day - I just lose patience quickly! lol
It's quite svelte and because of the lacquer, a pleasure to hold and use. Nice big flame if you want it too. The only criticism I have is due to its size, the gas reservoir is quite small.

Here are some pics:

ye groundhog that looks great I actually thought it looked a little bigger in the online photo. I think it would look good if it was like a table lighter it would be hip flask size

I enjoy a match as part of the process but similarly windy Glasgow necessitated jet flame. Roll on summer and a matchbox
