Of all the butane lighters on the market, the multi-flame torch styles are, perhaps, the most intriguing. They feature multiple hot, blue jets of flame which can be directed with great precision from any angle. They provide excellent service and reliability.
These lighters may be used just as effectively for a campfire lighter as they may be used for a pipe lighter. They are generally windproof, will light for a long while off a tank of fuel and are easy to maintain. Depending on how sophisticated one wants to be, one may choose from one, two or three jets.
The single-jet butane lighter is the oldest style on the market. These emit a needle-sharp flame which is kept directed by the pressure of the gas. These lighters have the advantage of being very easy on fuel and of being compact. For outdoor use, these are both distinct advantages. These lighters will fire up under just about any conditions, wind, rain, snow or otherwise. For reliability one really can do no better and for efficiency these lighters are excellent choices.
Many smokers like to light up a cigar when out fishing or hunting. Torch lighters provide reliable service for this even in wet and windy conditions. Of course, being out in the outdoors means being divorced from the creature comforts of more refined settings and, among those comforts is an ample supply of fuel. Two and three jet lighters do consume more fuel in their operation and the last thing one wants is to have an empty lighter when they're a long way from a store. Consider a single-jet lighter for these situations as they consume less fuel and will provide service as reliable as their multi-jet cousins.
For the ultimate in style, there is no substitute for the triple-flame butane torch lighter. These devices will turn heads from across a room. They're also hot enough to light up a campfire or lantern under almost any conditions. Of course, they consume more fuel in their operation. To compensate for this, they usually have the largest reservoirs of any of the butane lighters on the market. Still, if efficiency is the main concern, a single or double-flame model may be the best choice. These lighters are particularly well-suited to lighting cigars. The three flames provide a wide area on which the cigar may be warmed and lit and provide plenty of heat which makes for an even burn. They are available in a huge variety of styles.
