Zippo Fumes?

The thread about the Ronson Jet-Lites triggered some recommendations to use Zippos. That got me thinking. I have generally avoided using a fluid based lighter on cigars because of all of the comments about the fuel's smell affecting the cigar. I have also heard that they are fine if you light the flame burn a couple of seconds before lighting the cigar.

My only first-hand experience is that I tried it once and couldn't detect any foul flavor.

I'd love to hear what those who have actually used a fluid based lighter have experienced. If you haven't actually tried it yourself, don't bother to post --- we've all heard it already.
