Silver Match lighters, metal and several flames
With us Silver Match sits in the upper segment. The models are metal, usually have three or four jet flames and carry city names: Monaco, Paris, Minsk, Vaduz, Belfast.
Almost all of them are aimed at cigars. Some have a built in cigar rest or a punch, and some come in a gift box.
Which Silver Match do you choose?
The difference from a cheaper model lies in material and construction. A cast metal body does not warp, the lid closes tightly, and the flame is adjustable rather than fixed. You only notice that after a year, when a thin plastic body already has play in it.
Within the brand itself the models differ mainly in the number of flames and in whether they carry tools for cigars.
Two, three or four flames
Most models have three jet flames. Together they form a broad hot cone, which works well on the foot of a cigar because it then lights evenly instead of on one side.
With cigar rest or punch
Some of these models have a fold out rest or a cigar punch on board. That saves carrying separate tools, and the punch keeps the wrapper intact where a cutter can tear it.
As a gift
Several models are supplied in a box. Check the product information to see whether that applies to your choice, because it differs per model and we only mention it when it really is included.
Refill with butane gas at 45 PSI and wait a minute after filling. At lower pressure or with less pure gas the flame starts to sputter and the valve clogs up.

If you smoke cigars, also have a look at the cigar lighters, because that is where the models from every brand with a punch or cutter sit together. If you want a wider view of this segment, you will find it with the luxury lighters.
When comparing, look at the number of flames, whether it has a rest or punch and whether a box comes with it. Which models hold up best in use is in the 5 best cigar lighters.
If you do not know which model, start with the number of flames. Three or four go faster round the foot of a cigar, two is more economical and enough for daily use. Only then look at the size and the finish.
Frequently asked questions
How do you refill a Silver Match lighter?
Hold it upside down, press the can straight onto the valve at the bottom and fill calmly until gas escapes. Then wait a minute and set the flame low first before you turn it up.
Are Silver Match lighters suitable for cigars?
Virtually the whole range is aimed at that. Most models have three or four jet flames, and some have a cigar rest or a punch on board.
What is a cigar punch?
A small punch that makes a round hole in the head of the cigar instead of cutting it off. The wrapper stays intact and the draw becomes tighter.
Why are Silver Match lighters more expensive?
Material and construction: cast metal, a hinge that closes tightly and an adjustable flame. Not a bigger flame, because cheaper models have that too.
Which gas do you use for this?
Butane gas at 45 PSI. On a finely tuned model you notice contaminated gas straight away: the flame stays low or starts to sputter, even when the tank is full.
Does it come with a gift box?
With some of the models, yes. That is stated in the information per product; we only mention a box when it really is supplied with it.
