Dave's Take: Mantello Catador Torch Lighter

[GolfSpy Dave]

 

Hot Torch at a Hot Price

I was actually checking out the Alaska Bear Cutter on Amazon when I stumbled across this little torch.  I think that lighting the cigar may actually be my favorite part of the smoking experience. Pure primal satisfaction when I get to once again demonstrate mans' command over fire. That, or I'm just channeling my inner Beavis. 

 

Regardless of reason, I love lighters. I have a couple of prized Zippos, a few budget torches, and a great torch shaped like a Guinness tall can. There are a couple of fancy lighters out there that I'd love to own, looking at you Xikar, but for now, I flame economically.

 

 

That's what led me to take a shot with the Mantello Catador torch. This sweet little torch was only $14.99. My prior torches are all single jets, so I was curious to check out the burn provided by the triple jet.

 

Burn Baby Burn

 

Three jets, no waiting. Damn this thing spits flame. Got a touch of char when I hit the first stick with this thing. Little different than the single jet. The lighter did arrive empty, but it was easy to fill with butane and it fired up right away.

 

On the course, I actually had to turn down the flame a little, and yet it still held it's heat in the wind with no issue. Really happy with this lighter so far. Satisfying click and flaming woosh when you hit the button. Weight in the hand feels comfortable as well. Solid torch.

 

 

The torch also comes with a retractable punch in case you don't have a cutter with you. It locks into the open position, then retracts when not in use, ejecting the disk of wrapper in the process. You'll never need to jab a tee in there again!

 

Here is the LINK to Amazon. Flame on!

Doesn't look like it works.  No flame.

I got a free triple jet lighter with my last order from Cigars International and I will never go back to a single. As for the punch......I've had to use a tee several times, but I've never forgot my lighter, so thats a nice touch.
