About The Olympus Torch Lighter
What is The Olympus Torch Lighter?
The Olympus Torch Lighter is a purpose-built, butane-fuelled torch lighter designed for cigar enthusiasts and anyone who needs a reliable, high-temperature flame. Priced at $16.95 and stocked by 1st Class Cigar Humidors, it delivers a focused jet that cuts through wind and lighting obstacles.
Its compact metal housing measures roughly the size of a standard cigar case, allowing it to slip into a pocket or travel pouch without adding bulk. The integrated safety lock prevents accidental ignition, while the adjustable flame control lets users fine-tune heat for delicate or robust lighting tasks.
Because the torch flame reaches temperatures well above a typical soft-match lighter, it quickly ignites cigars, pipes, candles, and even small outdoor grills. The wind-resistant jet maintains a steady flame even on breezy patios, making it a dependable companion for both indoor lounges and outdoor gatherings.
The Olympus Torch Lighter’s design balances durability with elegance. A brushed stainless-steel finish resists fingerprints and corrosion, while the simple one-hand operation ensures that lighting a cigar is as effortless as reaching for the lighter. It pairs well with leather cigar cases and cutters sold by the same retailer.
Refilling the lighter is straightforward: a small screw-off cap reveals the fuel chamber, allowing a standard 230-gram butane canister to be used. After a brief purge to clear excess fuel, the torch is ready for immediate use. Regular cleaning of the nozzle with a soft brush prevents clogging and extends the lighter’s lifespan.
Customers who prioritize safety will appreciate the built-in child-proof lock, which requires a deliberate press-and-twist motion to ignite. The torch also complies with international safety standards for butane devices, giving peace of mind for frequent travelers and hobbyists alike.
