The Zippo And Cigar Controversy
While there are many reasons to buy Zippo lighters, lighting cigars is generally not considered to be among them. These lighters are powered by lighter fluid which has a characteristic taste and odor to it. When lighting a cigar with one of these lighters, that taste and odor is transferred to the tobacco and it can effectively ruin a good smoke. Most cigar smokers prefer to use one of two other methods to light their stogies.
