Multitools are a tricky category in any hobby, and cigar smoking is no exception. The LAFULI Cigar Lighter tries to pack several accessories into one device: a torch lighter, a cigar punch, a draw enhancer, and a cigar holder. After using it for a few weeks, I have mixed feelings about how well it juggles these roles.
The lighter itself is a standard dual-jet butane torch. It lights reliably after a few clicks, though the ignition can sometimes feel a bit stiff. The flame is adjustable, and the tank is transparent, so you can see how much fuel remains. It runs on butane, which is not included, so you will need to buy that separately. In practice, the torch works fine for lighting cigars, but it is not the most powerful or wind-resistant I have used. For a casual smoke in calm conditions, it is adequate.
Where this product stands out is the integrated cigar punch. It is located on the bottom of the lighter and works by pressing the cutter into the cigar cap. It gives a clean, round cut for most ring gauges I tried, though larger cigars may need a second pass. The punch is convenient for quick use, but it does not replace a proper guillotine cutter for precision or versatility. If you prefer a straight cut or a V-cut, this will not satisfy that need.
The draw enhancer is a small metal tool that screws into the bottom of the lighter. You insert it into the cigar to open up the draw if the cigar is too tight. It works as intended, but it is a bit fiddly to use on the go. The cigar holder is a clip that attaches to the side, allowing you to rest the cigar while it is lit. This is handy for hands-free moments, but the clip does not hold all cigar sizes securely. Thinner cigars can slip out, and thicker ones may not fit at all.
Compared to a dedicated butane lighter like a single-torch model, this LAFULI device offers more features but at the cost of simplicity. A standalone torch lighter is usually more compact and reliable, with a simpler mechanism. Similarly, a separate cigar punch or cutter often gives a cleaner cut with less effort. This all-in-one approach is a trade-off: you get convenience in one gadget, but each function is a little compromised.
In real-world use, I found the lighter best for short smoking sessions at home or in a lounge, where you can take your time with the various tools. It is less ideal for outdoor use due to the torch’s moderate wind resistance, and the extra attachments make it bulkier than a standard lighter. The build quality is decent for the price, but the plastic body and moving parts feel like they might not survive a drop on concrete.
Who is this for? It suits casual cigar smokers who want a single device to handle basic tasks without carrying multiple accessories. It is also a good option for someone new to cigars who wants to try different cutting and lighting methods without a big investment. Who should skip it? Experienced smokers who value precision and durability will likely prefer dedicated tools. If you smoke frequently in windy conditions or need a reliable cutter for every cigar, this might frustrate you.
Overall, the LAFULI Cigar Lighter is a functional but imperfect multitool. It does what it claims, but not exceptionally well in any one area. It is a decent budget option for occasional use, but do not expect it to replace your favorite lighter or cutter permanently.
