subject: Cigar Cutter Lighter Combos [print this page] If you enjoy smoking cigars, you're carrying on a pastime that has been around for a very long time. Few things can compare to the enjoyment derived from a luxurious, high quality cigar. Of course, if you do smoke, you'll realize quickly that you need a cutter and a quality lighter to help ensure your smoking enjoyment. You'll find that one of the most popular options is to choose a cigar lighter with a cutter for your needs. These combination units offer quite a bit of convenience, as well as quality operation and other benefits.
If you opt for these devices, you'll need to know what types of cutters the lighters come with. The cutter you choose is a very important consideration, as it will directly affect your smoking enjoyment. However, you will find that lighter/cutter combinations come with quite a few different types of cutters. In addition, you'll need to determine what type of lighter you prefer. Would you rather have one that offers a single jet burner? Would you prefer a lighter with a dual flame configuration? Perhaps you want a lighter that combines the use of a torch flame with a traditional flame.
The various cutters included with the combo unit should be considered carefully, as well. You'll find that some lighters come with a guillotine style cutter. A hole in the center of the lighter allows you to insert the tip and then you simply depress the plunger to cut the tip of the cigar. You'll also find punch style cutters and some brands even offer scissors installed within their lighters. Of course, scissor cigar cutters are oftentimes maligned, as they are somewhat difficult for a novice smoker to use correctly.
If you do not know your own preferences, or how each type of cutter works, you can wind up with a product with which you are unsatisfied. This is simply throwing money down the drain. You must determine what type of cutter you prefer using, as well as the style of lighter you like.
For instance, would you prefer to use a single torch model? Would you rather have the benefits of a triple torch? Dual flame models can offer benefits if you smoke more than one type of tobacco product, as well. Each option carries pros and cons, and you will need to know your own wants and needs in order to make the right choice in these devices.
