I forgot, there are sulfur free matches around but they are more expensive and harder to find.

I use matches all the time. Don't think it matters the brand as long as you lighting just pure wood. Put the matches in the humidor for a slower light.

First off, paper matches are a no no. They have sulfur on the whole match to help it burn. There are some cigar matches like Davidoff and Zino. I dont care for the Zino and they look more like a novelty (Its a giant matchbook). The Davidoff's are great. If you light a match and then blow it out, you will smell the aroma from the wood. Very pleasing! These matches are made for cigars so they are long and the wood is qood quality....costs about $5 a box.
