Temperature Has an Effect on Your Butane Torch Lighter

by Wendy Mallikarjunan

When you are enjoying the cigar hobby, one thing you will notice is that you will have constant questions that arise in your mind. In the beginning, you will wonder what cigars are best for your collection. You will have to ask which humidor you should buy. You can find that the questions are constant for a while, and then they will begin to slow down as you learn more. However, there can be questions that come up over time that you may not have thought of before. For example, you will not think about your cigar lighter and how well it will work once the cold weather sets in.

If you live in the north or northeastern parts of the country, chances are, you experience some bitterly cold weather. You will even see sub zero temperatures. You may never even consider how well your cigar lighter will work in the cold until the cold comes around. However, it is a good thing to know. Will your butane cigar lighter work in the extreme cold?

If you simply are using the lighter while you are in the cold and it has been in your pocket or indoors, you will not have any problem lighting your cigar. However, if you leave that torch lighter in the cold long enough that it gets cold, it will not work. This is because the gas molecules in the butane will retract and get smaller in the cold air. When this happens, the pressure within the lighter will not be enough to make the torch lighter strike.

This does not mean that your butane lighter will not work in the extreme cold. As long as the lighter itself is warm, you will still be able to light your cigar even if you are standing outside in sub zero temperatures. The best thing to do is to keep your lighter in your pocket where it can stay warm.

Many people do not realize it until they have a problem, but a butane torch lighter will be affected by temperature. This is why it is best to not leave it outside in the cold for extended periods of time. If you like to have a cigar on your morning commute, just get in the habit of putting your lighter in your pocket instead of leaving it in the car.
