A great cigar requires a great lighter!
Though I don’t smoke cigars any longer, I certainly applaud those that do. A great cigar so often comes down to camaraderie, a good whiskey, and the accoutrements. Like a symphony, everything needs to be perfect, and sometimes it’s the little things that are easy to overlook. Take lighters for instance, playing their very necessary part in one of the the rituals that are unique to this smoke.
For almost 150 years, S.T. Dupont has been synonymous with luxury, and may have everything you need to make enjoying a Cohiba Behike a special event, as if it weren’t already. If you are going to treat yourself to a fine cigar, consider upgrading your equipment to match your favorite cheroot, carefully igniting your evening’s selection with this lighter originally designed to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans that took place in 2023. (This year’s event is Sat, Jun 15, 2024 – Sun, Jun 16, 2024).
As well, I came across a great article about the 10 best cigars in the world from a Las Vegas Cigar Lounge’s Perspective.
