Just want to know if you have an acquisition disorder like I do. Hahaha!
How Many Cutters And Lighters Do You Have?

Of course they do! I have 47. And it's BiC! And another 12-15 lighters. One cutter, and not a current cigar guy.
Of course they do, I buy Bics ten at a time. A couple of Zippos, one in the gear bag, the other in the center console. So, at most 12. Front teeth or a nail for opening a cigar.
Far less than I have pipes. And tins. And jars. Yeesh...................
Oh, wait. I did buy a couple "bricks" of cheap lighters at 50 each. Hmmm...
Now I'm confused.
Never mind.
Over 100 in that case.
Carry on.

2 Palio cutters from 15ish years ago
Matches, not lighters. A whole case of kitchen matches plus some mini wooden matches for out on the town.

I have 22 lighters from jewelry store pieces to Bics. I have some but I never use the pipe specific lighters. Bics are just too good for what they do and easily replaced.
Cigar cutters, I seem to get several every Christmas, and just throw them in a drawer. I have no idea, but they have a dedicated drawer.

I have 1 cutter my buddy gifted me a couple years ago. It did well for a while but I'm afraid it's growing dull. Considering one of those Xikar ones with the wings that pop out. Or maybe Palio guillotine...
I'll use matches or an old boy to toast-light cigars, but since nearly all my "not winter" smoking is done outside, I need a torch. I bought a Zippo torch insert and it's great so long as it's not windy or cool. So it pretty much sucks for my purposes.
I thought long and hard and coughed up the dough for a premium torch and have been quite satisfied. I'm also getting good at properly toasting with it (acknowledging that this is always more intense than matches or soft flame, it can still be done reasonably well I think, if you take your time).

Too many cutters. Not that I wanted any, but sometime ago, everytime I buy some pipe tobacco, this company would send me one or two cigar cutters. I have no idea why. Never bought a cigar from them. Gave all away other than my old cutter I got back in college.
Two punches, two good guillotine cutters, one V-cutter and several disposable blade cutters.
Two pipe Zippos (one Zippo butane insert and one standard naphtha), three regular Zippos (one Zippo butane insert and two naphtha), a Palio Volcano torch, a Xikar Quad flame torch an ancient Colibri torch and a X-Lighter permanent match.
Do we want to do ashtrays too?

I have, simultaneously, too many and not enough.
Weird.

I have a BUNCH of cutters, but use my Buck Stockman 100% of the time.
The lighter....a Ronson Jetlite.
They are hard to find anymore but they DO exist. The best $4 you will spend on a cigar lighter.
Super cheap, refillable and the absolute perfect flame for a cigar...in my opinion.
Ive been using the same one for over a decade. The chrome finish had rubbed off, it's now brass colored, but works perfectly. I have a few new ones incase this one goes.
They were $4 back then, and $4 now....if you can find them.
Correction....they are about $10 bucks online I see. They are back in demand I guess.
My local tobacco shop has them for $4 occasionally. They were really hard to find the last few years. Demand must be high. They really are the perfect cigar lighter.
