Do you mean it is a torch and soft-flame combo lighter? Those are cool. It really doesn't matter. Fire is fire. I use a triple flame torch.
Yes thank you for the correct term. Does it matter if you puff on the cigar if you use the soft flame? will it distaste the cigar?
Munt.
Butane burns very efficiently so it really has no taste. You will have to puff on it to get it started burning. Don't overthink it, bro. Just light and enjoy.
My very short experience, smoking cigars for the last 5 months or so, the cheaper Bic lighters give an undesirable taste to my cigars. While this lasts only a brief time (and I've only resorted to that in a pinch) I've been wondering if the same would apply to pipes. Seeing that pipes are a shorter smoke and may require a few relights, I would be led to believe that this would be a problem.
