I was looking at a wooden coffee stir stick one time and I was wondering to myself "Hey, wonder if they are made of the same wood as wooden matches?" I did a quick online search an birch seems to be the normal type of wood for stir sticks. So, is birch an acceptable wood to be lighting our precious cigars or not? What wood is used for matches? I did a search online for that too but no definitive answers. I know that some matches are made of cedar specifically for cigars and pipes but what about the common wooden match?

I've heard that the fuel is not as pure as what we normally use in our fancy lighters, but I've also heard that it isn't impure enough to matter. I think the purity of the fuel helps the high-end lighters function better and the fuel in bics are not really "dirty", just not up to high-end lighter performance standards. I don't believe they are bad to use. I usually keep one handy.
