The doc sent me a zippo style butane lighter that was soft flame and it works great!

Bic should work for someone like you.
-
bic ohhh yes. nice n cheap and reliable.
Lee, have I must look into this zippo as well. -
I know Kuzi uses a Xikar EX. It's a soft flame

+1 and their pipe lighter is fantastic as well. I have the pipe one. Can't remember model name off hand.Gray4lines:I know Kuzi uses a Xikar EX. It's a soft flame -
Jiunn all I have too say is the amount you've spent on cigars get a dupont!! They are pretty awesome!!

I used to spend the bigger bucks on lighters but so many become duds for me. I will look into dupont though. I realize myself reaching for soft flames and cedar spills more and more these days.Lee.mcglynn:Jiunn all I have too say is the amount you've spent on cigars get a dupont!!

I have lost so many nice lighters, I decided that Bic will work just fine for me.

all I can say is my dupont lights the first try and is well a very nice lighter! People can hate but it was a gift from my moms best friend so I can't say it's not worth itjliu:

yea.. i actually lost a really nice torch lighter that i bought 4 years ago. some rocky patel one. i know i know "rock patel." I loved that thing. Looks like I should stop by Wal-Mart and see if there is a ronson type of soft flamekaspera79:I have lost so many nice lighters, I decided that Bic will work just fine for me. -
There is a butane soft flame insert for zippo that works well. The Xikar EX soft flame is no longer listed on the Xikar website. The pipeline is the pipe lighter. Would love to get one. Heard many good things.

CCOM still has them FYI.... http://www.cigar.com/accessories/viewaccessories.asp?cpage=4&subcatid=acc_liteMarker:The Xikar EX soft flame is no longer listed on the Xikar website.
(I've been oogling over it for a few weeks now.) -
Those are the EX windproof.
-
Wait, there's different types of Xikar EX's??Marker:Those are the EX windproof.
Now I'm confused. -
There is the Xikar Exodus soft flame that is "wind resistant"...not wind proof and I have this one...love it. Torches tend to be wind proof while soft flames aren't. Ronson has a soft flame called the "Comet" and I bought a dozen of them..$1 a piece at CVS. Call your stores in your area to see if they have them...some do some don't.jgibv:

The comet sounds like it will be my winner. I use my soft flames in non-windy areas. Time to call up CVS! Thanks GaryCigary:

The comet is just as reliable as the Ronson torch just not as nice looking.
