Suitable Flame Type For Your Cigars

Updated: Jan 25, 2021

Since 1928, with the birth of the first cigar lighter by Julius, the founder of Colibri, now the most prestigious trademark when it comes to buying jet flame lighters online. From then, lighters have been used for numerous purposes from lighting a fire, some combustible material to lighting a cigar. After almost a century, the inevitable evolution of lighters have climbed to a higher standard in terms of design, engineering, colours and looks. Today, the substantial growth in functionalities of these small machines proves adequate to choose the perfect fit for any occasion.



Contemporarily, the lighters have received a special scaffold where the vintage accessory has become a jewel among cigar aficionados to light their cigars. While we shop for the torch lighters, it has become a healthy habit to prioritize different flame types and wind resistant features over several others. Let’s traverse different categories of cigar lighters to find the best suitable flame types for your cigars:

  • Single jet flame lighters

  • Double flame cigar lighters

  • Triple jet flame cigar lighters

  • Table-top cigar lighters




Table-top cigar lighters:

Besides the three flame types; there are certain brands that have introduced lighting devices that could be placed on tables or luxury interiors. One such table top lighters is the Enterprise T1 Table top Colibri lighters with a cigar cutter that is designed in three attractive colours and an inbuilt punch cutter which gives your cigar a sharp cut.

Single jet flame lighters:

Single jet flame lighters also known as Single flame torch lighters emit a single blue coloured jet flame produced from butane fluid liquid. These are the simplest flame types available in the stores. Generally, the lighters hold a flame adjustable knob to lower or increase the flame size. Usually these are placed at the sides or at the bottom of the fuel tank. As cigars with a ring-gauge less than 26 are small in built, they require a single jet flame torch lighter to avoid from being burnt faster.


Double jet flame lighters:

Double flame cigar lighter produces an appealing dual flame that holds strong against winds and gives a natural even burn to the soft foot of your cigar. Its wind resistant characteristics allow it to be used for outdoor purposes as well. Double jet torch flame efficiently lights a cigarette with slender ring-gauge of 26-39 and a standard ring gauge of 40-45. Usually these devices are also recommended to light fires while camping, and generate fire to cook outdoors.

Triple jet flame cigar lighters:

As the name implies, the device generates a durable triple jet torch with a capacity to burn a cigar of heavy and full profiled cigars with a ring gauge of 46-53 and 54-66 respectively. Colibri advises smokers to buy Colibri lighters and Colibri butane for a better smoking experience. The butane fluid reacts with oxidizers inside the gas chambers to create such a robust flame. Additionally, proper care should be taken to avoid immense accidents caused by improper use of such delicate devices. Although, the flame generated is much more reliable than the other flame types.
