The Parisian company has been producing luxury goods since the late 19th century and has become a symbol of quality with its sturdy and dependable lighters. If the elements aren't a factor and the intention is simply to impress, the quintessential Ligne 2 lighter from S.T. For added range, the Colibri positions one flame upright and the second at a 45-degree angle, which combine to generate a large, all-encompassing flame. Made of tough metal alloy with an easy-grip diamond pattern exterior, the effortless roll bar ignites a double-flame that's sturdy enough to compete with gusting winds on the beach or golf course. The Colibri Julius (right, $125) lighter is all about power-even when compared with jet-flames. Several soft-flame designs have proven durability for puffing in the elements. The flame is sparked by an electro-quartz ignition that-unlike a flint lighter-does not need to be replaced.
The one-press igniter has an easy-action trigger, which means you can take your time slowly roasting the foot of your premium hand-rolled without straining your thumb. Less than one-eighth of an inch thick, the Lumos slides easily into trousers of even the slimmest cut, but still produces a robust yellow flame capable of lighting large-ring-gauge smokes. Take, for instance, Caseti's Lumos (center, $75), an ultra-slim soft flame designed for mobility.
(It also avoids the undesirable charred notes of a torch gone wrong.) Thankfully, the cigar accessories market is ripe with a range soft-flame lighters with designs fit for any occasion. But the 21st century aficionado would be mistaken to overlook situations in which the soft-flame variety can add a degree of accuracy-and style-to the cigar-smoking experience. In the age of indoor smoking bans, the outdoor utility of windproof, jet-flame lighters is undeniable.
