International Cigar Discount Shop

When gift shopping for cigar smokers, premium cigars come to mind. A trip to a tobacco shop will ensure viewing a wide selection and price range, with expensive brands housed in special areas where the humidity is just right and pampered customers can try out their selections. However, for those uncertain about selecting cigars themselves, there are some other great options. These include cigar cutters, cases for home or travel, humidors, and also cigar lighters.  

Lighters make great gifts because they can be personalized or engraved and come in a variety of styles and functions. Some even have built-in cigar cutters for a nice two-in-one advantage. Furthermore, prices vary enough so that there are choices to fit every budget. While some will find a price tag comfortable, there are others ready to spend more, with about ,500 typically the high end of the range.

Of course, engraving increases cost, though the amount depends upon whether simple initials or text are engraved, or more complex items added, such as company logos, even photos. Personalization is often just the right touch for gift giving.

Popular cigar lighters include single flame torch types, ranging in price from about to 00. Styles and brands of this style are extensive, and finishes range from black lacquer and bright colors to detailed chrome finishes over solid brass, even leather with palladium. With single-step ignition buttons and butane fuel level viewing windows, some have a laser flame that functions even in windy conditions. These are especially nice for golfers or sportsmen.

Also available are double flame torch models, as well as triple flame types. These lighters guarantee a quicker light, yet a powerful flame, while housed in a compact case. The triple flame torches are guaranteed, in fact, to light up a cigar in seconds and come in both pocket and table-top models. As with the single torch varieties, there are different brands and styles, with finishes running the gamut. There is something for every cigar smoker, as undoubtedly some will prefer the satin chrome or black matte finishes while others will enjoy metallic blue or orange and gunmetal. Further, since lighters might be considered accessories for well-rounded cigar enthusiasts, tastes might dictate having more than one to suit various occasions.

Besides torch styles, many traditional lighter styles still sport roller-bar flint ignitions instead of push-button conveniences. Their wide, soft yellow flame ensures years of trouble-free lighting, while including built-in flame adjustment so that a fingernail or tool need not be used for controlling flame size. Some are specially designed to light any size cigar, from slimmest to widest; many also carry a lifetime warranty, though warranties of 1-3 years are not uncommon.

Finally, regardless of brand and style, torch or traditional, push button or flint ignition, most cigar lighters come ready to present in their own attractive leather cases, pouches, or gift boxes. For anyone afraid to take a chance on buying cigars, these are sure to be both a safe bet and a welcome gift for the cigar lover on the receiving end.
