Don't think am scrotching the cigars but is definitely something off either from the butane or me doing something somehow . Tried a different lighter I refilled also with Colbri and got same off taste .
If you're tasting a difference between butane brands, you need to stop huffing the butane and refill your ligther with it instead.

In all seriousness, there shouldn't be any difference between butane brands on taste, you're most likely a victim of confirmation bias. As long as your ligther is getting the right mixture of fuel and oxygen (mostly blue flame), all the trace chemicals that might not have been filtraded would be incinerated before they would even touch the cigar. The difference the extra filtrations does is in the lighter function degradation, like clogged jets overtime.
