Smoking a Cigar Halfway: Smart or Wasteful?

When people debate the question of whether or not a cigar should be smoked fully or just halfway, they’re really debating whether or not there is something inherently bad about a half-smoked cigar. Whether or not a cigar is bad or good depends upon the tobacco and the wrap, not upon how much of it has been smoked.

How to Fix a Lighter

The vast majority of refillable lighters are high-quality devices that can provide many years of excellent service. There will be those moments, however, when the lighter won’t light as expected and when one is left a bit vexed, and perhaps a bit embarrassed, by the failure. Most often, the failure is traceable to a few different issues which are easily fixed.

How to Care for Your Butane Lighter

Butane lighters are available in models which are made for use in rugged environments.

Making certain they work as intended does require that one pay attention to the proper maintenance of their lighter and that starts with the fuel one uses.
