The butane lighter has become the main choice that smokers use to light their pipes and cigars. Propane lighters are renowned, as well, but butane lighters have a windproof flame that will light every time. If cigar smoking is new to you you may ask why veteran smokers prefer butane lighters over a traditional lighter. As a gas, butane burns more effectively than traditional lighter fluid and also costs less than propane. Butane lighters are a worthy lighting application to include in your collection.
