Buying Cigar Torch Lighters Online
If you enjoy the relaxation and refinement offered by smoking a cigar or pipe, then you likely know the importance of having a quality lighter on hand. Purchasing high quality options, such as Nibo Group lighters, is simpler now than ever before. Thanks to the advent of the Internet, more and more lighter manufacturers are offering their products for sale in the online environment. However, you’ll need to know a bit of information before you make that purchase. For instance, does the lighter come filled with butane?
The short answer is “no.” Manufacturers are prohibited by law from shipping lighters prefilled with butane. Why is this? First, butane poses the threat of fire during the shipping process. Even if damage does not occur to the lighter’s casing, if sufficient heat is applied to the packaging, it’s quite possible that the butane will ignite. Not only would this damage the lighter, but also it could damage other packages, the delivery person or even the handling facility.
Second, butane can pose a threat if it leaks without igniting. This fuel is technically a noxious gas and, as such, can pose serious health problems to those working with and handling the packages. If the case were to become cracked and the fuel to escape during shipping, in addition to the threat of fire, there’s the threat posed by inhaling the fumes. This is obviously a poor situation for those carrying such packages and must be avoided. Thus, the government prohibits the shipment of lighters prefilled with butane.
Of course, this problem can be circumnavigated quite easily. If you purchase a canister of butane prior to the delivery of your lighter, it’s simply a matter of filling the lighter, allowing the lighter to come to room temperature and then using it. Of course, before you purchase any type of butane, you should consider the manufacturer’s recommendations for both brand and canister style.
Based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, you will be able to determine what brand and type of butane will work best in your lighter. You will also be able to determine if the filler nozzle on the lighter is a standard design, or if you will need to purchase a more exotic type of canister to fill your lighter. With this information in hand, you’ll be able to start using your new lighter almost immediately and enjoying all the benefits of a high quality lighter.
