Well, I just invested in a new lighter. A Colibri Belmont, to be precise, for ?25. What with the smoking ban and a hostile home as regards cigars, I figured it was definately time I got myself a decent torch-flame OUTDOORS lighter to replace my cheapy one (which broke, as do all cheapy things).
So what do you guys light with? Tapers, lighters, matches ...which brands would you recommend? How important is the initial lighting when it comes to the overall burn, and what gives you the best results?
I say this because I seem to have difficulty with uneven burns and tunneling whenever I try something larger than a 42g (I puff too much=tunnel, too little= goes out. Dang. Accompanied by uneven sides.). But then again, I'm new[ish] to this game! Seem to be fine with most Coronas though. Very puzzling. I smoke only a few times a week, so I don't get much "practice".
