Alistair — the cigar lighter designed to be carried with you at all times
The side clip fixes the Alistair where it needs to be — within immediate reach. The air vents and ribs ensure grip. The torch lights. The punch pierces. The needle clears. All in zinc alloy, 3 colors. Gift box included.
How to use the Alistair's side clip? The side metal clip hooks onto the edge of a pant pocket, jacket, or belt — the Alistair remains vertical and accessible like a pen. It is particularly practical for outdoor tastings or travel where you don't want to rummage through a bag to find your lighter.
Delivered unfilled — standard butane refill required. Wait 2 minutes after filling before first use.
Punch and needle — two distinct tools: the punch pierces a clean cylindrical opening in the cap — concentrated draw, operation before lighting. The needle works after lighting if the draw remains tight — it pierces the tobacco lengthwise via rotation without cutting the wrapper. The Alistair covers both situations with a single pocket accessory.
The field cigar lighter — always with you: Alistair in zinc alloy, jet torch + punch + needle + side clip, Forest Green, Flamboyant Yellow or Carbon Black, gift box included. Practical cigar gift for birthday, Father's Day, Christmas or business gift.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Alistair's side clip used for?
The side metal clip allows you to attach the Alistair to the edge of a pant pocket, a jacket, or a belt — like a pen, but for a lighter. It stays vertical, accessible immediately without rummaging through a bag. Particularly useful during outdoor tastings, on terraces, or for frequent travel.
What is the difference between the integrated punch and needle?
The punch pierces a clean cylindrical opening in the cap before lighting — concentrated draw, wrapper intact on the surface. The needle is used after lighting if the draw remains tight — it travels through the tobacco lengthwise via rotation and decompresses the roll without cutting. Two distinct tools for two different situations, both in a single pocket lighter.
Is the lighter delivered with gas?
No — delivered unfilled for transport regulation reasons. Standard butane is available at tobacconists or supermarkets. Wait 2 minutes after filling before first use.
What is the difference between the 3 colors?
No technical difference — torch, punch, needle, and clip are identical on all three. Forest Green: natural and distinctive. Flamboyant Yellow: dynamic and easy to spot. Carbon Black: sober and universal. Purely an aesthetic choice.
