Dual Flame Lighters

By Dave Sabot

High-end lighters come in all shapes and sizes. Among the most popular on the market are the cigar lighters that have more than one flame. Dual flame lighters are flashy, elegant and sophisticated. They also have some significant advantages where the actual process of lighting a cigar is concerned. These lighters are available in both affordable and very boutique-level versions which provide perfect accessories for a fine night out. It's hard to miss these devices when someone lights one up.

Lighters with more than one flame are preferred by some cigar smokers as they provide a wider heating area for the cigar. This helps to produce a more even light and can make the complex affair of lighting a cigar easier. These devices generally constitute the more expensive lighters on the market and many of them produce the distinctive blue flames that characterize very high-quality lighters. These lighters are, of course, more complex than their single-flame cousins.

Multi-jet torches allow a cigar or pipe smoker a valuable commodity: an even heating surface. Lighting either a cigar or a pipe requires that one heat the tobacco before actually igniting it. The multi-flame torches provide a wide surface area on which this can be done. They also produce a very controllable flame. Users will find this to be the case even in high-wind conditions.

Butane for high end lighters will usually be advertised as having a very low impurity content. This ensures that the lighter does not become fouled with impure ingredients and that the device produces hot reliable flame every time. Lighter fuel for two-jet lighters should generally be purchased from a tobacconist or from a website which specializes in quality lighters. The higher efficiency will result in a longer lifetime for the torch and in fewer trips back to have the lighter examined if it fails to light correctly. Most often, however, these lighters are remarkably reliable and can provide a lifetime of service.

Twin-flame lighters are also very popular for outdoor applications. The high-pressure blue jets of flame are very wind-resistant and ensure proper lighting in the most adverse conditions. The two flames also produce a remarkable amount of heat which makes them well-suited for uses such as starting campfires and other outdoor activities. The durability of these lighters ensures that their users don't have to worry about than failing when they are used in the outdoors.
