🔥 + 📍 The VARGAS: 2 essential accessories in 1 object
Torch flame
Precise, even, and wind-resistant lighting. Heats the entire foot of the cigar without contact — zero unwanted taste, perfect combustion from the first puff.
Retractable cigar punch
Punches the closed head of the cigar to create a precise draw channel. More discreet than a cigar cutter, ideal for cigars with a round head or when you want to keep the wrapper intact.
Choose your color
Silver
Elegant and timeless — matches all outfits and styles. The classic choice for discreet everyday use.
Yellow
Bold and distinctive — easily found in a bag or on a table. For those who embrace their originality.
How to use the VARGAS?
1
First gas refill — insert the nozzle of a butane gas cartridge into the refill valve (bottom face). Press firmly for 3 seconds. Wait 2 minutes before first use.
2
Prepare the cigar with the punch — unfold the integrated punch and gently pierce the head of your cigar with a steady rotating motion. The punch creates a precise draw channel without damaging the filler or wrapper.
3
Light the cigar — bring the torch flame 1 cm from the foot. Slowly rotate the cigar to heat the entire surface evenly. Wait until the foot is fully incandescent before drawing.
4
Store the punch — fold the punch back into its housing once the cigar is ready. The VARGAS remains compact in your pocket — ready for the next cigar.
Punch vs. cigar cutter: the punch is recommended for round-headed cigars (Piramides, Torpedo, Belicoso) — it preserves the wrapper's intact shape. For straight cigars (Robusto, Corona, Churchill), both work. The punch provides a more concentrated draw, the cutter a wider opening.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a punch and a cigar cutter?
A punch pierces the head of the cigar and creates a narrow draw channel — it preserves the wrapper's shape intact, ideal for round-headed cigars (Torpedo, Piramides). A cigar cutter slices the head and creates a wider opening — more suitable for straight cigars for an ample draw. Both are valid depending on preference.
What gas should I use to refill the VARGAS?
Standard butane gas, available in supermarkets, tobacconists, or hardware stores. Press the refill valve (bottom face) for 3 seconds, wait 2 minutes before first use. All butane cartridges with a standard nozzle are compatible.
Why choose VARGAS over HOUDINI or GAMBIT?
The VARGAS offers a more generous size (7.8 × 4.4 cm) with an integrated punch — ideal if you prefer a wider grip. The HOUDINI offers 3 simultaneous torches for faster heating on large ring gauges. The GAMBIT stands out with its authentic flint ignition. All three have a punch or not depending on the model — see the comparison above.
Is the VARGAS suitable for outdoor use?
Yes — the torch flame remains stable in light drafts. In strong winds, briefly shield the lighter in the palm of your hand when lighting. This is one of the main advantages of a torch flame over a classic flame.
Is the VARGAS a good gift for a cigar enthusiast?
Yes — lighter + punch in one elegant object, delivered in a Collection box ready to give. It's the ultimate practical gift for a cigar smoker, ideally paired with a cigar cutter or a humidor for a complete set.
