Finding the right lighter is almost as important as selecting the right cigarette for your taste. Lighters can be found online or in any cigarette shop, but first several items must be considered, such as lifestyle, frequency of use, and of course how much you're willing to spend.

Step1
Get rid of your cigarette lighter and leave the matches in the drawer—these can ruin a cigarette. Because cigarette are made with moist tobacco, opposed to the dry tobacco used in cigarettes, it is best to use a lighter made specifically for cigars. They have a broader flame and use clean-burning fuel. The combination of these two factors makes for a better tasting cigar.

Step2
Prioritize your needs. If you are an outdoorsy person and plan on enjoying cigars in the great outdoors, then a windproof lighter is crucial. Adventure lighters are torch lighters that can come equipped with a compass, waterproof case, lanyard and floating devices.

Step3
Choose butane or torch. Butane lighters use a clean burning fuel that won't alter the cigar's taste. They are also wind- and waterproof and provide a precise flame that allows for a more evenly lit cigar. Torch lighters produce a bright blue or green flame with an intensity that can be more easily controlled.

Step4
Decide how much you're willing to spend. A good, wind-resistant lighter with refillable butane costs in the $50-$100 range, while a designer lighter can run you up to $200.

Step5
Show off your personality. If you're looking for a novelty lighter that also makes for a good conversation piece—perhaps for a gift—go with one of the hundreds of usable collector's lighters at Sourcingmap.com, many unique lighters are available.
