Ive always been told matches only. Any butane or fuel like that will ruin the stogie. I was recently in a cigar bar in Boston and a dude lit a 50 dollar cigar with a Zippo, they practicly threw him out. Lol

Haha I know wood matches only but hey it happens to light alot faster when your smoking one of these.


But back to fab I marked out the notching and got a welder from my buddy. Also cut it thinner so I don't have a 10in blade sticking off the front before I get the tubing
