So you’ve done you charging due diligence, and are ready to light your first cigar with the XFlame. Again, you’ve charged stuff with USB before. The action button will light up and let you know that it’s charging, and turn off when it’s finished. Plug the cord into the lighter, and the other into any old USB port and you will charge the XFlame easy peasy. The XFlame lighter charges via USB, something that all but the most luddite-leaning of you probably do on a daily-ish basis. It’s a modern spin on an old idea, and the best thing about the XFlame is that you don’t need an attached car to make it work. Electricity causes the metal to heat up to a temperature that is able to light the tobacco, without actually producing any kind of flame. That car lighter is the best parallel to the action of the XFlame. Now some of you will remember when cars came with cigarette lighters as options, and when they were actually intended to light cigarettes rather than a place to plug in a USB adapter. You use a grill of battery-warmed metal to light your cigar rather than any kind of fire. So the irony of the XFlame is that it actually is completely devoid of flame. Optimal temperature won't overheat your cigars.Burner coil is easy to clean and easy to replace.Lights the entire end of a cigar in seconds Does not require butane or lighter fluid. Sorry for the reflective tangent. I just got caught up in a maelstrom of mental marveling when thinking about how the use of fire is so ancient, and yet still so critical for modern human civilization.Īnyway, let’s leave those sticks un-rubbed, and instead delve into the stick-lighting circuitry of the Xikar XFlame Electronic Lighter. Humans have used fire for a long time, and although we now dress it up in fancier outfits, fire remains one of our most critical survival tools. This lighter is so high tech, causing my brain to rebel a bit and drift to the other, low-tech, end of the fire making spectrum. It just jumped into my head when I was thinking about the lighter that I have for you today, Xikar’s XFlame Electronic Lighter. Now I’m not for a second going to recommend the two-stick ignition method as an option for lighting your cigars on the course.
