A Torch You Can Fly With

 A Torch Lighter You can take on an airplane

Many of you know that I travel quite frequently.  I am not alone on the planes.  And, Occasionally there are other cigar smokers.  Alas, we can’t indulge our passion aboard, or for that matter at most airports.  But, just recently I flew through JFK in New York and Delta has a new outdoor smoking lounge, complete with nice comfortable chairs and bar service on a roof deck of their airline club. Bravo!  And there is more good news.  How about being able to take a torch lighter with you when you travel.

 

Now you can! The Soto Pocket Torch is intended for campers and other outdoorsmen, but, we’ll take it anyway.  It is a two piece gizmo that when you insert an inexpensive and readily available lighter, becomes a fully functional torch.  So, when you fly you have two innocuous looking pieces, the top and the fuel holder.  After you have landed, a quick stop at any convenience store and $1.29 later you are in business.  When it’s time to fly again, just dispose of the disposable lighter and you are good to go.  I paid about $20. for my Soto pocket Torch.  You can get one at a local camping shop or just follow the link above.
