What's Your Latest Accessory Purchase?

[Deke]

Bums,

I thought it would be fun to shout out about the cool new gadget we just bought to enhance our cigar smoking experience.

Mine isn't super-recent, but it's still my latest and certainly one of my favorites EVER. It's my IM Corona Classic lighter in brown calf skin. Most of you will see it and think "Old Boy" which it basically is. The difference is that rather than a horizontal flame trajectory, it employs a traditional vertical flame. It lights first time, every time and holds a lot more fuel than it's small-ish size would suggest. I can get roughly 8-10 "normal" ring cigars lit per fill. The action is buttery smooth and the build quality and weighty feel is standard IM Corona fare. It's just outstanding in every way.





There was a bit of a breeze when I took this pic, but the flame really is vertical.

Don: It looks very nice. How do you like it vs. the IM Corona Double Corona which you have written about and which I also have?

The DC smokes everything out there. Simply the best lighter made, regardless of price.

I like the Classic, but it's just a basic, single soft flame lighter. Like all IMC products, the construction is top notch and feels very solid in the hand. It's deceptively small, but seems to have a lot of lights in it. I can handle 4-5 cigars on a fill. It's not nearly as versatile as the DC and is harder to toast with in comparison.
