The world is quickly moving away from the culture of disposable goods and, so far as the environment is concerned, good riddance to that culture. Refillable lighters represent one of the most-popular ways people have found to save money and landfill space. Of course, they also have a lot of style. The explosion of new designs has made sure that almost anyone can find a model that suits them to a “T”.

Butane torch lighters tend to turn heads. It’s hard not to look when one catches sight of a double or triple blue flame out of the corner of one’s eye. The Colibri lighter company makes many such models which are representative of the style: sleek, modern and aesthetically-pleasing. These lighters have practical value, as well. As the butane has no taste or odor, it is perfectly safe to light a cigar or pipe with these models without risking adding the lighter fluid flavor that causes many smokers to eschew the traditional liquid-fueled refillables. Where fuel is concerned, however, just as is the case with an expensive sports car, high-end equipment calls for high-end fuel.

There are several different grades of butane available. If one makes the investment required for a good lighter”it is surprisingly affordable, actually”they should make the corresponding investment in lighter fluids. Look for fuel that advertises zero-impurities. This means that the lighter will perform at peak levels and that the blue flame, or flames, will burn hot enough and bright enough for everyone to see.

The butane lighters tend to be cleaner than their liquid-fueled alternatives. They are refueled from specially-designed canisters and no fuel need come in contact with skin or surfaces. Of course, the liquid-fueled varieties benefit from lighter fluid being available almost anywhere and this fuel is oftentimes available at very low prices. Depending on the design, it’s oftentimes easier to clean and maintain a liquid-fueled lighter as well.

High-quality products do more than flatter our egos. They also eliminate waste and, in the case of lighters, make the experience of smoking more enjoyable. These lighters now come in a wide enough variety of styles that most anyone can find something that reflects their personality. If a torch lighter is a bit too much, there are, of course, butane refillables that put out a less-intense, yellow flame. Either way, one can be sure that their lighter will provide many years of reliable, and fashionable, service.
