What differentiates this model is the fuel it uses. This is a light fuel that makes the flame windproof. You will have to buy this fuel (directly from Zippo or any other seller) when you purchase the lighter as it comes empty. A truly impressive thing about this product is the lifetime guarantee, which makes it more reliable in terms of durability. The guarantee doesn’t apply to the finish.

Aspects We Considered When We Ranked the Products
After we selected the products, we
compared and ranked them. When it comes to cigar lighters some of the most important aspects to consider are the fuel, the
overall construction and design, as well as the resistance to wind.
-
Most lighters use butane. This is a flammable fuel and its flame is odorless. In this way, the cigar won’t get the aroma of gasoline. Butane is not expensive and it very easy to find. Almost all our lighters work with butane. The only exception is the lighter from Zippo. This comes filled with Zippo premium lighter fluid and for optimum performance, the manufacturer recommends to always use this particular fuel. It seems that this fluid is windproof, so it basically works everywhere.
-
A compact lighter will properly fit in your hands. If the lighter is too bulky or too small, it may be more difficult to handle. Therefore, all our models feature a compact design, being at the same time very stylish and elegant. From this point of view, the most compact lighters are Zippo Chrome and Tonino Lamborghini.
-
The lighters selected by us work very well in windy conditions. However, the best choice to go with is Zippo Chrome as is windproof. This means that its flame won’t be extinguished even if there’s high wind.
-
The more colors to choose from, the better. The most versatile lighter is Zippo Chrome as it is available in no less than 13 colors. It is followed by Tonino Lamborghini that comes in 9 beautiful colors. This translates into more changes to find one model that will match your style. All the other models are available in only one color option.
If brand is important to you, we recommend you the models made by Xikar, Zippo, or Lamborghini. They are well-made and feature a
superior finish. The last two models also come in multiple colors, so if you want a stylish cigar lighter, see what options you have to get one with a nice color. In terms of fuel, in case you don’t want a lighter that works on butane, you can go with
Zippo Chrome as it uses a light fluid. On the other hand, if money is your concern, the cheapest model to go with is Scorch Torch, followed by JetLine New York. The most expensive lighter is
Tonino Lamborghini but is a great a nice present for a Lamborghini fan. Or for you, why not?
