Any advantage over twin or single flame?

BigJohn · 04-03-2009, 05:21 AM

Burns gas much faster, can be used to start a camp fire, and contributes more to global warming....
I have one, love it, but my single flame torches work just as well. They just take a little longer to toast the foot of the cigar.

Thanks bigjohn! LOL!

I've had one for years. Its only advantages as far as I'm concerned are that it's way more windproof than my Blazer and it works better in cold weather. Other than that, Blazer all the way.

My triple torch Vector gets that bastard lit like a raped ape. Big fan.

Personally I only use quadruple-flame lighters. My cigar is lit instantaneously, like spontaneous combustion, like flicking the light switch. It's like, clickpuff.

There is no substitute.

Like MD said wind proof.

Are we going the way of razors here? Next will be a quintuple-flame, then sextuple.....pretty soon, you'll need to carry around one of those propane tanks, and burning off your mustache and eyebrows will be an occupational hazard.

Just bring a plumber's torch.

I have a triple flame Lotus, and I like it a lot. Only problem is that if it's not warm, the flame will crap out. All my friends reach for it, as well.

It toasts the foot and lights up nice and fast. But when it comes to lighting/smoking a cigar, is speed really an advantage? I stick with stingle flame torches because they're cheaper and just as good, just takes a little more time. YMMV
