HOUDINI — the slim lighter that ignites better than standard pocket lighters
Three torches in 8 centimeters of length. The HOUDINI fits into an inside jacket pocket yet delivers ignition power that most mass-market pocket lighters cannot replicate. Two-tone metallic accents, refined finishes, and a retractable punch that transforms the lighter into a dual tool: it is the object for the smoker who only wants to carry a single accessory but refuses to compromise on the quality of the ritual. Five finishes to match every style — from sober Matte Black to luminous Yellow, through to the Gold & Silver contrast.

Why is a triple torch flame essential for cigars?
A well-lit cigar is one that burns evenly from beginning to end. That is where the triple torch makes the difference: its three concentrated torches heat the entire circumference of the foot simultaneously, whereas a single standard flame heats sporadically, requiring the smoker to turn the cigar over the fire for a long time.
With a soft-flame lighter or a match, two problems frequently arise: uneven combustion (the cigar leans to one side and draws poorly for the first 5 minutes), and sometimes unwanted notes (match sulfur, low-quality lighter hydrocarbons) that seep into the first puffs and alter the aroma. Refined butane burned in a torch leaves no residue on the tobacco. This is why torch lighters have become the standard among seasoned aficionados.
Using the HOUDINI lighter properly
1
Refill the lighter — use commercial refined butane. Insert the canister nozzle into the valve under the lighter, press for about 3 seconds, and remove. The standard valve is compatible with all commercial canisters.
2
Wait 2 minutes — let the gas stabilize before the first ignition. Adjust the intensity of the triple flame with the dedicated dial according to your preferences.
3
Prepare the cigar — deploy the retractable punch and pierce the head of the cigar with a firm, straight motion, or use a separate cigar cutter depending on your preference.
Ignite in rotation — bring the three torches 1 cm away from the foot of the cigar without placing the flame directly onto the tobacco. Rotate the cigar slowly until evenly incandescent. Take a few gentle puffs to get it started.
Perfect ignition tip. Never place the flame directly on the tobacco — the intense heat of the torch ignites perfectly from 1 cm away via radiation, without scorching the wrapper. A cigar correctly lit with a slow rotation will subsequently burn evenly to the very end without requiring mid-smoke touch-ups.

The slim lighter that rivals larger formats
The HOUDINI combines everything one expects from an expert cigar lighter into its pocket size: triple torch flame, integrated retractable punch, 5 finishes to choose from to suit every personality, and the Collection box delivered ready for gifting.
Ideal occasions: Father's Day, birthday, Christmas, corporate gift, professional promotion, or a secondary gift to pair with a box of cigars or a humidor. For a recipient who appreciates a sober aesthetic, choose Matte Black or Brushed Silver; for a more assertive character, Burgundy, Yellow, or Gold & Silver.
Frequently asked questions
What gas should I use to refill the HOUDINI?
Commercial refined butane — available at supermarkets, tobacco shops, or specialty stores. All butane canisters with a standard nozzle are compatible. Insert the nozzle into the filling valve on the bottom of the lighter, press for about 3 seconds, and wait 2 minutes before the first use to allow the gas to stabilize in the reservoir.
Is the integrated punch suitable for all cigars?
The retractable punch is suitable for closed-head cigars of standard diameter (ring gauge 40 to 60) — Robusto, Corona, Toro, Churchill. It creates a precise draw channel without damaging the filler. For very large Gordos or open-head figurados (Belicoso, tight Torpedo), a complementary guillotine cigar cutter remains preferable.
How do I light a cigar with the triple torch flame?
Bring the three torches to about 1 cm from the foot of the cigar without placing the flame directly on the tobacco. Slowly rotate the cigar to heat the entire surface evenly. As soon as the foot is uniformly incandescent, take a few gentle puffs while continuing to heat. The entire operation takes less than 10 seconds with a little practice.
What is the difference between the 5 finishes?
No technical difference — triple flame, retractable punch, dimensions, and performance are identical across all five finishes. The choice is purely aesthetic. Metallic accents vary by color: gold tones on Yellow, Burgundy, and Gold & Silver; silver tones on Brushed Silver and Matte Black. Choose based on your personal style or wardrobe.
Why a triple flame instead of a single flame?
The triple flame heats the entire circumference of the cigar foot simultaneously, which guarantees even combustion from the first puff. A single flame heats sporadically and forces you to rotate the cigar over the fire for a long time, often leading to uneven combustion that requires touch-ups during the smoke. The triple flame cuts down ignition time and significantly improves draw consistency.
How do I maintain the HOUDINI lighter long-term?
Three simple steps: refill with refined butane only (low-grade butane clogs the injector and alters flame quality), purge the reservoir two to three times a year by emptying it completely before refilling (this clears out accumulated impurities), and clean the injectors with compressed air if the flame becomes irregular or weak. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or intense heat.
Does the HOUDINI make a good gift?
Yes — it is a highly appreciated expert cigar gift, delivered in its Collection box ready to present. The slim format and 5 finishes make it easy to match the choice to the recipient's taste. Ideal occasions: Father's Day, major birthdays, Christmas, professional promotions, corporate gifts, or as an accompaniment to a gift of cigars. For a sober spirit: Matte Black or Brushed Silver. For an assertive character: Burgundy, Yellow, or Gold & Silver.
