There’s lighters that go in your pocket, and then there’s ones like the Alec Bradley The Burner Table Top Lighter that are meant to live on a table next to your ashtray. Unlike portable lighters, table top lighters are the kind you probably won’t ever lose (although we know there’s some of you out there who will manage it thanks to a fondness for beverage pairings when you smoke).

The chrome canister of the Alec Bradley The Burner Table Top Lighter holds about 1.4 oz of butane. We’re not sure how many lights you’ll get out of that, but if you smoke one cigar a week you might get through a year with it. Keep us posted! We love to know how these things work out in the field in actual customers’ hands.

To get it lit, there’s a fuel knob. As you turn this, it makes the butane start to flow. You’ll hear it coming out. Then, grab the trigger and push in the ignition button with your thumb. This will get your flame roaring. It’s a pretty wide flame, and you can control how much fuel comes out. If you’re having trouble getting it lit, adjust the knob to increase fuel flow and keep clicking the ignition. That should do it.

The flame comes out nice and wide for lighting cigars of any ring gauge. We don’t recommend trying to light this in the wind outside. It’s not really a jet flame lighter. Instead, it’s best used indoors at your smoke lounge, man cave, or any other spot you like to hole up and puff away. With that in mind, it’s also not a portable lighter that you should plan to take with you when you’re headed out somewhere to smoke cigars. This thing is a homebody.

The bottom of the Alec Bradley The Burner Table Top Lighter is about 3 inches in diameter. It takes up approximately as much space as a can of soda on your table, so it should fit pretty much anywhere.

If you’ve had enough of searching for slim pocket lighters, step into the table top era and always know where your cigar lighter is, with the Alec Bradley The Burner Table Top Lighter.
