I'm about to do something I rarely do and recommend a product I can't own myself. Don't worry ... I can explain.
Though as I get older I'm taking better care of my possessions, in some areas I'm still someone who can't have nice things. Cigar lighters are among these categories. I lose them far too often to be trusted with anything too valuable, as they are as likely to wind up in my friends' or acquaintances' pockets as they are my own at the end of the night.
But if I could have nice things, I would get myself the Xikar EXII Havana lighter. Like the rest of the Xikar Havana collection, it has a retro look to it, with the old-school cigar band design that looks like it should be sold in a gallery or museum shop along with online at Thompson Cigar.
It's guaranteed to cause everyone around you to take a closer look at it. Well, that's not technically true. That's just extremely likely. But it does carry with it a lifetime warranty, as well as a large thumb trigger that makes lighting a breeze and a flame stable enough to light your premium cigars in winds that would make an ordinary lighter ineffective.
But the fact that it looks so striking makes me reluctant to buy it for myself. I know that I'll lose track of it as it's being passed around, and when I pat my pocket at the end of the night it won't be around. If you are better able to monitor your prized possessions than I am, however, this is one cigar accessory that will make you stand out from the crowd.
