While finding the perfect blend of tobacco is a delightful process, having the right tools on hand to help you enjoy that smoke is a vital consideration.
You will find that your choice in lighters makes a tremendous difference in your smoking enjoyment and even in your ability to smoke. Traditional flame options are not great choices for cigar lovers, but torch flames may not offer pipe and cigarette smokers the best light, either. Thankfully, dual flame models give you the options you need.
What are these types of lighters? As the name suggests, they have two flames. However, you will find more than one type of dual flame lighter on the market for your consideration. Therefore, you need to know what each type offers, in order to make an informed decision and ensure that you are able to enjoy your smokes, anytime, anywhere.
The most commonly found type of dual flame lighter offers dual jet ports on the top of the lighter. This offers cigar smokers the best light possible, as two ports ensure that the cigar is able to be lit correctly, without problems that can occur when using a traditional flame, such as runs or uneven burns. Two ports provide more heat and even flame coverage for your cigars.
Of course, those who smoke something other than cigars will find that jet flames are possibly not the best idea. Therefore, you will find dual flame lighter models that feature a jet port and a traditional flame. Most frequently, the traditional flame is mounted at a 90-degree angle on the side of the lighter, while the jet port rests on top of the lighter.
When considering dual flame lighters, you will need to take into consideration your smoking habits. Do you smoke cigars most of the time? Are you a confirmed pipe smoker? Perhaps you smoke cigarettes the majority of the time, but like to spice things up with a nice cigar or pipe on special occasions? The answers to these questions will determine the type of dual flame lighter you eventually purchase. It should be noted that the same type of lighter will not be the right solution for all smokers, so consider each type and even each brand with care prior to making a purchase decision.
