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.

Butane torch lighters have rapidly become the most popular way to light cigars among aficionados. These lighters impart no taste at all as the gaseous fuel is consumed very efficiently by the lighter. There are different grades of fuel available but, where butane lighters advertise no impurities, it’s not so much a question of whether or not the fuel will be tasted as it is a question of reliability and taking care of the lighter itself. These lighters are available in exotic designs which feature double and triple flames, upscale styling and beautiful finishes. They have become favorites among dedicated cigar smokers.

Lighting a cigar, for some smokers, should only be done in the most traditional way possible. This means either matches or cedar strips are employed. Matches obviously burn no fuel which may lend a taste to the cigar and cedar strips have a pleasant smell all their own. These methods, of course, lack the inherent convenience of a lighter. Given that lighting a cigar is a complex process, it may take several matches to get the stogie burning. Cedar strips have the disadvantage of being poor choices where portability is concerned and, of course, they can crumble in one’s pockets.

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.

The memories of New York-caused heartbreak go on and on. The Yanks over the Sox in 1999 and ‘03. Even last season’s Jets win over the Patriots in a game that was meaningless to the Jets, but cut the Pats’ season short and deprive them of a postseason. The Mets in ‘86 and the Giants in ‘07. It never ends!

The City of New York makes Bostonian friends turn into barbarians. Back in 2005, my friend Joe and I went to see the hapless Bruins play the Rangers (who I also hate) at MSG. No surprise, they lost. However, my friend and I almost came to blows due to secret NY neuron gas!

Fans of the Yankees and Mets who are otherwise great friends go at it like there’s no tomorrow when defending their teams. It’s New York’s fault, I tell you!

New York is Boston’s Darth Vader, without a doubt. Always plotting some kind of new way to destroy our hopes and dreams. But as of now, we’re the ones laughing.
