I think most "old school" folks that you see using matches are using them because that is what they are familiar with.

Davidoff makes their own cigar matches which are longer and made from spanish cedar. They are hard to find.

If you want to use a regular match, imo it's the same as using a soft flame. The St. Dupont's or any other soft flame lighter will provide the same experience.
