Alright, I want to show off my new acquisition from LightersDirect. It’s a table top lighter; meaning that it’s not something you’ll want to take in your shirt pocket, but which should be found among every aficionado’s cigar gear, and here’s why:

These things are as awesome as they are solid. There’s definitely a major “wow” factor that comes with a table lighter, but the real attraction is in how practical they are for perfectly and effortlessly lighting a cigar.

Take my new Lotus T3 table lighter with its triple flame for example. Not only does it look great on my desk, but the extra large tank capacity means I can use it more than twice as much as my regular lighters without having to refuel. Any other triple flame lighter would run out of gas after just a few cigars.

The massive triple flame of the Lotus T3 actually means lighting that cigar much faster and evenly. I was really taken back by how quickly I could light those large formats with this, and how effortlessly even the resulting burn is.

The T3 is solidly built with all metal construction as evidence my the sheer weight of it. Refilling is easily done through the metal valve which is available through the bottom of the base. No special screws, means no special tools or screwdrivers needed to refill; just tilt the thing, flush and fill the tank.

Everyone needs of these, definitely!
