butane torch: fast, dependable and great for touch ups.
or sometimes cedar matches if I am in a cigar lounge.

If I'm inside or there is no wind I prefer a match...otherwise a butane torch.

I prefer to use a match, but because I do most of my smoking outdoors, it's not always the best option.... So, I LOVE my Ronson. I bought a cheap backup torch for when I leave the house and forget my Ronson but pickup a little yummy for myself... I also bought a cheap guillotine for the same purpose.

I prefer a soft flame to a hard flame as it toasts the cigar and not chars it...

I like to use both butane and a soft flame, but I chose Butane since that's what I tend to grab most of the time.

Match is fun inside but I use torch 99% of the time as I usually smoke outstide.

Butane torch, Ronson to be specific.

Generaly I use a butane lighter.

This may sound odd, but when they come with a ceder wrapper I like to light the wrapper and use it as a match. IDK why

I've moved almost completely to soft flame lighters unless I happen to be outside in which case I use my extend.

Butane lighter, EverTorch to be specific. Torch for toasting and a soft flame to finish all in a classly looking package, the perfect lighter.

I regularly use a Ronson Comet, soft flame.

Butane torch for me. Used a Blazer PB-207 for years...my current go-to is the Blazer CG-001.

Inside or out of the wind - lit cedar strip, for me it is part of the relaxation.

Outside - any lighter will do.

it's a Don Lino Havana Reserve Habanito. (http://www.famous-smoke.com/don+lino+havana+reserve+habanito+50+cigars/item+19871?Nav=&Ne=) Awesome 7 minute size, I've been smoking them frequently.

If I am inside, a soft-flame butane lighter. If I am outside, Ronson Jetlite butane torch.

Torch. I have a bunch of the cedar sleeves that I've been throwing in the desktop and cooler for ambience. I may throw a few in the Caddy to try lighting with at herfs. :tu

Butane Torch single or double flame depending on the gage, and matches

Butane torch unless I'm lighting a 42 ring gauge or smaller then I will use a match.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned $100 bills yet. I find the crisp bills to generate too strong a flame, so I wrinkle them first.

Generally I use whatever is on hand. If I have all three: Ronson, Bic, than matches.

Butane torch to get the foot started quick and evenly. A soft butane lighter for touch ups to avoid toasting the wrapper.

I like to use my Colibri flint fire soft flame lighter when I am inside, otherwise a butane torch, and very rarely matches

butane lighter, soft flame

Lately I have been experimenting with wooden matches, but my favourite light is still a soft flame butane lighter, with my torch a close second.
