Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

Has there been any discussion about storing your butane lighters in your humi with your cigars?

My concern is lighters (cheap or expensive they all do it) leaking butane into the humi and damaging the flavor of the cigars. Are there any thoughts, experiences or research on this subject?

I'm not sure this is true, I have left lighters for 8-12 months and picked them up and not had any fuel leakage. Over the years I have never had a problem with a lighter leaking. But I do not store lighters in my humidors, there is no room. But I often put one in my traveldors.
