Fuego Lighters

Generally, it is a three-step process.

1. Press the Fuego button three (3) times continuously in order to turn the device on. The Fuego power button will flash to indicate action. The Fuego button will not light up when pressed if the battery is off.

2. When on, press and hold the Fuego button down until the burner plate is red hot. Hold the Fuego button down throughout the entire cigar lighting process.

3. GENTLY touch the end of the cigar to red hot burner plate and begin to puff as you would traditionally light a cigar with open flame. DO NOT push down or use excessive pressure or force on the burner plate as this could damage the burner plate. Note: Some larger cigars will naturally even out perfectly and come to a full burn as they are smoked.

4. THE PERFECT LIGHT. To achieve a perfect light every time, keep the cigar end flush with the red hot burner plate and puff until the cigar is adequately smoking. Check the lit end of cigar for adequate cherry. If not adequately lit, repeat this process.

Yes, this lighter is 100% windproof! You can light a cigar with Fuego lighter standing in front of an industrial fan!

Traditional cigar lighters rely on butane flames, which can easily be diminished or extinguished by the wind.

The Fuego electric lighter operates on a different principle. It utilizes an electric coil, providing a consistent and reliable heat source that is impervious to the whims of the wind. This means that whether you're on a breezy golf course, a mountainous retreat, or simply enjoying the open terrace of your favorite café, your cigar lighting experience will be seamless and efficient.

1. Remove as much ash from the foot of your cigar as possible. We recommend using our patented Cherry Picker cigar ash removal tool.

2. Once removed you are ready to relight. Depending on how your cigar burned you may have to relight at an angle and/or may have to use more than one lighting cycle.

If you get ash on the grill, use the supplied cleaning brush to clean your grill once you have stopped using the coil and it has completely cooled.

The same way you don’t mash hamburger meat on the grill; you do not push your cigar on the heating coil grill.

Your coil will reach approximately 580 degrees Fahrenheit in a matter of seconds. Simply resting or gently holding the cigar's foot near the coil is sufficient to light it perfectly every time.
