Lighting a cigar with matches

treatneggy · 08-15-2010, 10:51 PM

I wouldn't mind a source for decent cigar matches, my local B&M hands out ordinary matches.

I have the freebie matches from CI and Holts that they put in the packages, and my B&M hands out similar sized matches with Cuesta-Rey label on them, but I don't know how ppl light cigars with them. I tried to use them when I misplaced my torch lighter.

These things burn down to my fingers in no time and it took on average 4-5 of these matches for me to get a robusto lit and sometimes another 2-3 to even out the burn. If these are the same basic match that you would find at Wally-World then definately don't bother.

When I misplace my torch I often just use Diamond matches... They work great.

When at the home base I use them also and then use the torch to touch up if needed.
