After looking through the first five pages for a similar thread w/o seeing any newer threads, I wanted to start this one to see what you old pros are using... thought it could be a good resource for us newbs.
I've been digging my Alec Bradley 'The Burner' for a couple months now; great for toasting and initial lighting, but keep a Xikar Executive handy for touch-ups.

I hate to be that guy, buuut. . .
Any time the weather is nice enough to let me light a stogie with a couple of these Davidoff cedar matches, I do it.
I also have a couple Xikar Executives for touch-ups.... ??
The Executives I believe are a single torch. The EX and EX II are the soft flame ones. I've got one of the EX models I got from scarlin for Secret Santa and am really liking it a lot. I also have a Crossover which is the same body as the EX but with the Van Halen style design on it. I recently got an XTX triple flame table lighter as well. I use the XTX for bigger ring gauges and the EX for smaller ones and then do touch ups with the Crossover.
My go-to at home in Spain is a bit lighter, but I'm glad I took the risk on the lacquer (I'd sworn against it before). Pierre Cardin soft-flame.
Looking for something when matches won't do.
Colorado Springs is close to 7,000 ft. Elevation in some places, and pretty windy, so I wanted something that doesn't blow out as easily as a bic.
I should get it before I roll out west. I'll report my findings in Cleveland and Colorado. Hopefully it's as rock solid as it looks.
Decided against the Cirro because of the amount of fuel it pushes out being a "turbo flame". The EX just seems like a baller soft flame. We'll see!
