Why Choose a Soft Flame Lighter?
Unlike powerful torch lighters, soft flame lighters emit a gentle, candle like flame that allows for a slower, more controlled toast and light. This is especially beneficial for those who enjoy smaller ring gauge cigars and for those that find themselves smoking indoors. A soft flame ignition is less likely to char the wrapper or alter the cigar’s intended flavor making it a favorite among aficionados who prioritize purity and precision. Our quality soft flame lighters offer both style and function.
