Choosing the Best Fuel for Your Cigar Lighter

The fuel used on one’s lighter goes a long way toward determining both the performance and the longevity of the device. When one purchases a high-end refillable lighter, such as a Colibri torch lighter or a liquid-fueled refillable such as a Zippo, it makes sense to protect that investment by making certain only the highest-quality materials are used to actually fuel the device.

Making certain that one gets the best flavor starts with how the cigar is lit. There are various means of doing this and some cigar smokers have very strong preferences for and against certain means. The most controversial way cigars are lit is with liquid-fueled refillable lighters.

The nozzle on a can of butane is designed to fit perfectly with the receiver on a refillable lighter. Anything that doesn’t quite fit is most certainly not the correct fuel and one should not attempt to make it work by force. This can ruin the lighter as much as can using the incorrect fuel.

There’s no rivalry in Boston bigger than the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry, and perhaps no bigger rivalry in professional sports. Every matchup between the two teams is an epic showdown, and we’re about to witness another one.

The Red Sox have shown great strength this season against their foes, winning 8 of the first 9 games they’ve played together. The Yankees historically rule over the Sox, but this decade has been much kinder to the Red Sox, winners of more world series.

After the series this weekend, more reasons will be spawned for me to hate the Big Apple! David Ortiz is going to get skewered and that is putting it mildly, due to his possible steroid involvement. You thought Pedro got it bad with “Whose Your Daddy?!”

Despite Boston’s recent success, it still gets under my skin every time I see New Yorkers ripping Boston apart. They’ve always been our biggest spots enemy.
