How Many Flames Do We Need?!
When lighting that $3, $5, or $10+ cigar, remember these rules:
1. Use wooden matches(let that sulfur head burn away) or a torch lighter
2. Don't over burn that cigar!
3. Get a light toasting on the foot, then puff away with a little more flame on it.
But this article is not instruction on how to light a cigar, it's to ask the question:
HOW MANY FLAMES DO WE REALLY NEED?
With such a wide selection of torch lighters, most people think that more flames means a better light, I respectfully disagree. I believe that, ultimately, single flame torch lighters are the way to go. Too many flames means you risk over burning your smoke, creating a canoe-ing effect, lighting it too fast, or unevenburning. At Brothers we do sell torches with multiple flames, but remain mosting with singles.
Let's be honest, we are taking time to enjoy one of the finer things in life, why rush? a single flame lets you enjoy the smooth richness of that first light, when that cigar truely tastes best. It allows for a more even light without worry of overburn.
I think we can all agree that our lives are over rushed as it is. there is ALWAYS something that needs to be done, a phone call or text needing to be sent, a bill to be paid. Let's make like the "good ol' days" and take it slow with our cigars.
It begs the old question,"Do you want it done right, or done fast?"
