at $8a cigar it got alittle too expensive. besides I would have people pestering me to use the paper to roll a blunt.
"wtf? how the hell are you going to waste this fine cigar for your cheap ass weed?"
Yes Jonny B you are filling the lighter wrong. I tossed many lighters for years because I didnt know what I was doing wrong...
Before filling the ligher you have to turn the "intensity" or "flame setting thingy" all the way off so that it closes the release. IIRC the pressure of the butane being pumped into it causes it to freeze the release tube and if not turned completely off with cause a leak. After you have done this even 1 time it will cause the lighter not to function properly.
On "most" butane lighters there is a +/- sign at the bottom, just turn it all the way off, flip the lighter over and fill it in quick 2 second burst's. I have never had a problem after I was taught that.

I used to have a foreman that smoked those. the few teeth he had were yellow, and I actually saw him cough up a piece of lung one day. it was pretty disgusting. He did 3-4 packs a day though...I guess that much of any cigarette is going to have negative effects.
My first cigarette was a camel wide unfilter, smoked them for about a year when i was 14, dumb, dumb mistake.
i haven't been able to smoke a cigar since my vaccine study started...may 8th will be the first day in 3 years since i've had one 
ok, i'm seeing it now. i opened it up. there's a clear flexible plastic hose running between the valve at the top of the resevoir and the metal/ceramic top part. you think i blew out the seal on the plastic? that would explain why the gas seems to be coming out where it is. i wonder if i can reseal it.
edit: nope, i guess not. the gas only seems to be coming out the top, but i'm still just getting a "regular" flame. unless it's a problem with a slow leak preventing enough pressure build-up.
this is damn frustrating. nothing is obviously wrong except it doesn't work.

I wouldnt suggest trying to fix it because you are dealing with a pretty high powered flame and compressed gas. But its your fingers
fuck yeah!!! we have liftoff!! i read this page and it mentions "Again, try to prevent any dirt, dust or ash from falling into the ignition chamber, as this can also cause the lighter to malfunction.". All I had to do was blow hard into the ignition chamber to free whatever the hell was blocking it.
oh man, i'm high on butane. i've emptied almost an entire can in the room emptying and refilling this damn thing.

the only surprise i got was touching the wrong piece of metal when the spark went off. i managed to do that at least twice.I wouldnt suggest trying to fix it because you are dealing with a pretty high powered flame and compressed gas. But its your fingers

Embarassingly, I once spent $30 on a cigar.
It was of course, AFTER I smoked it that I learned the price
On other people's money, I've spent way more

My birthday!
okay fine fine, how about we all meet on your birfday and smoke cigars, considering we'll all be within a 4 hour radius of each other
