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.
- Fuel: many lighters use butane – a flammable fuel with an odorless flame. In this way, the cigar won’t get the aroma of gasoline. Butane is not expensive and it very easy to find. An exception is the Zippo lighter that uses Zippo premium lighter fluid. For optimum performance, the manufacturer recommends to always use this particular fuel. It seems that it is windproof, so it basically works everywhere. There are also electric lighters that don’t require the use of a fuel. A much Eco-friendly option for the users.
- Size: a compact lighter will properly fit in your hands. If it is too bulky or too small, it may be more difficult to handle it. Therefore, all our models feature a compact design, being at the same time very stylish and elegant.
- Resistance to wind: the lighters selected by us work very well in windy conditions. However, the best choice to go with is a windproof device as the flame won’t be extinguished even if there’s high wind.
- Colors available the more colors to choose from, the better. The most versatile lighter is Zippo Chrome as it is available in no less than 17 colors. It is followed by Zippo Matte that comes in 14 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 Zippo, Lamborghini, or Tesla. They are well-made and feature a superior finish. They 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. The best lighter for cigar is Zippo Chrome as it is compact and solid. It alos has a nice classic design and it is avaialble in many cool colors. In case you want a plasma cigar lighter, you can confidently go with Tesla Rechargeable Lighter.
