Fuego Electric Lighter
Electric Alternative to a Butane Lighter
Fuego electric lighter patented technology is made up of two parts; a lithium-ion battery and a screw-on heating coil.The Fuego, simplifies the Cigar Lighting Process Without Sacrificing Tradition. The lighter is USB-C rechargeable 2500 mah rechargeable battery that puts out 35 watts. The llighting element in the heating coil is a circular grill. The grill is designed to light the entire foot of any cigar that is the 62-ring gauge or smaller. This size ring gauge was chosen because it is large enough for the majority of cigars available to the market.
The design and functionality of the grill combine cigar lighting tradition with a simpler, smarter process. It lights the surface of the cigar foot at lower temperatures than all other types of lighters. The grill doesn’t create runs you normally would get from uncontrollable flames. This is not a Tesla or Plasma lighter. Fuego's innovative fully electric lighter provides controlled surface red-hot heat which eliminates deep burns into the interior of the cigar. In some cases that deep burn can add up to be more than an inch of the wasted cigar. Lower temperature lighting is also known for enhancing the taste and aroma profile of tobacco. This is most noticeable in the initial light.
The Electric Cigar Lighter
This is not a torch lighter so you will never need any butane. It is a flameless lighter making it perfect for the outdoors. The windproof design means you can take it with you on the golf course, to the beach, on a boat, or in high-altitude places where butane lighters are less effective. To transport your Fuego Electric Lighter, make sure it has completely cooled then separate the battery from the heating coil. If you are going to travel with it; keep it in its original, TSA-friendly packaging and only put it in your carry-on.
After you turn the battery on, press and hold the power button to heat up the grill. The grill will become red-hot heating to hundreds of degrees in seconds. A heating cycle will cut off after ten seconds of use to prevent overheating. Release and repress the power button to start a new heating cycle. A fully charged battery holds more than fifty full 10-second heating cycles. The battery will automatically turn off fifteen seconds of non-use. This auto-off feature preserves battery life. You recharge the battery using the micro USB charging cable provided in the Fuego Electric Lighter kit. USB-C rapid charging allows for a full charge in less than an hour.
The Fuego Electric Lighter revolutionizes your cigar smoking experience. It is arguably the easiest way to light a cigar perfectly whether it’s your first time trying to light one or if you are a seasoned aficionado. Depending on what setting you find yourself in; this lighter makes your experience simple, easy, and enjoyable.

This lighter is the best electronic lighter there is. Great for traveling and I love the replacement adapters. Kudos from a traveling cigar aficionado!
I wish it shipped to my house faster, but this lighter was worth the wait.
A great alternative to butane lighters as it lights more evenly.
No problems with wind or cold temps (butane lighters hate the cold) out on the course. Relit a stubby with out burning my face or hands. Great invention

That business used to light any cigar for me in no time when on wind or gale; on the ocean coast it NEVER betrayed me . For some reason the first one of several years was taken from me by the TSA (?!) before boarding a plane, so I ordered immediately the second one. Should I say more?
Matches and lighters just can't compare. Just as advertised, the Fuego electric lighter lights quickly and evenly every time. No more chemical byproducts, no more endless match lighting, just turn it on and it's lit. I was worried it might be too big, but it's the size of a small pocket flashlight, very convenient in every sense.
The only complaint I could bring up, is the metal element is very fragile and will bend easily if you aren't gentle enough. Having said that, it still gets the job done and I can't see myself ever going back to the primitive alternatives.
Bonus points, cause you can bring this on a cruise and light up despite the wind. As I said, a must have.
Excellent product for travel! The ONLY thing I would recommend would be: the instructions on the box call for clicking button less times than the instructional video, so until we found the instructional video on YouTube, we could not get the lighter to ignite. Recommend updating box directions.
The lighter is amazing. It's gives an even burn when lighting cigars. It would be perfect if it had a punch on the bottom of the lighter (gear cigar lighter, but it forces you to carry a cutter/punch).

This is a very nice lighter. It starts the cigar on an even burn every time. Thank you.
I was provoked into looking for an alternative cigar lighter as I was fed up messing around with gas or having to use a cheap rubbish flame lighter, plus the inconsistency in burn when lighting with a flame (especially on expensive cigars) was too much of a worry.
I’d seen various reviews, mostly positive, and given this was exactly what I wanted I took the plunge. Oh my god, it’s amazing!
It worked perfectly out the box with no tweaking required as per some of the other reviews, and the lighting of the cigar was just incredible lighting it perfectly across the whole face from just one burn cycle.
I like the safety switch idea, and I don’t think it will fail prematurely which others have suggested given how infrequently it will be used, especially as the safety switch only kicks in after prolonged inactivity and will just require another standard press after the current burn cycle if required (maybe my unit is a new version so the software logic has been changed?). Either way, the button feels well made with strong tactile feedback, so I don’t see it being an issue.
Not sure how long the heating element will last but then again it’s no different to having a convection heater at home in terms of operation, so I see no real reason for it to just suddenly die given how the grill is made up. I did buy a spare set though given the relatively cheap price; hopefully that’s not a reflection of poor longevity.
Charging was quick and luckily it allows any USB-C socket to be used unlike many cheaper devices which still require the static 5V output even with a USB-C connector on the end. Apparently the unit gives out a dimly lit green LED if medium battery power levels remain which I’ve yet to see in action as to how obvious it is, and maybe a better idea would be to have a yellow LED for when medium power remains, but I can’t give an honest opinion on that yet as I’ve not seen it.
The build quality is fantastic and the design simple but very effective. Nice presentation box as well containing the charging lead, cleaning brush, heater element, and body. The fact it got delivered to the UK so quick without issue or additional fees is also another testament to the company.
Overall this product is exactly as I hoped and better. If you’re looking for a cigar lighter of this type, look no further, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to light up my next one!
Thanks from Switzerland for this elegant product.
The transfer fee is higher than the price for the Lighter

I just receive it, will try next, but seems a solid quality product.
I'm a frequent traveler and I take a lot of cruises where the smoking area is typically outside in the wind. I also play golf and the wind on the course has always given me issues...no more, now. I ordered this for a cruise we are taking next week Jul '24 and I needed something to handle the wind and was easy to use for travel purposes. I've used it a few times and it works like a champ. I love this thing and I'm looking forward to all the jealous faces on the ship when I don't have to find a structure to hide behind to light up. Fuego will be getting some referrals from me. Things to note or improvements: the shape will allow it to roll off the table or flat service very easily. It gets hot on the outside an needs to cool on a metal, stone, or similar hard non-fire surface while it cools. I'm curious how long the element will last as well as the battery; time will tell.
This is the second lighter that I have purchased on behalf of a blind friend.He was extremely pleased with the original purchase but unfortunately dropped in some water, which killed it, so I have bought another one for him.
Delivery time (to the UK) : Excellent.
How can I review and have yet to receive it…

Hello,
I discovered your lighter by watching a Youtube video and so I rushed to buy it. It lights wonderfully well cigars that it is Panatellas or Robustos nothing stops it
I am very happy and I no longer have the little taste of burnt that can cause a flame on a cigar sometimes. To honor my 1st lighting I had bought a Partagas D4 for the occasion.
Cigar lovers do not hesitate to buy this lighter you will not be disappointed and if there is some kind of malfunction after a few ignitions, press the fingertip on the grid and it works again.

I bought this for my father and he loves it but the lighting element is already not working.Kinda expensive!!!!
Simply the best way to light a cigar, perfect light every time!
Neat. Reliable compared to the vaping models which are very unreliable in my experience as cigar lighters but underpowered compared to them.
The tubular shape makes it liable to roll off a table onto the floor and then the base detaches and is impossible to refix.
As a cigar smoker I have lots of torches (Single,double,quad etc). I have cedar spills and wooden matches. Now as an aficianado I do still like to use them for nostalgia or historical etiquette. But this Fuego Lighter is by far THE BEST lighter you can have and all you have to make sure is that it is fully charged. I made sure to fully charge first out of the box and it's still lighting 15 cigars in. I saw a YouTube video stating you can get up to 30 lights if you need a range. Lights different size cigars PERFECTLY EVERYTIME. I have not had one not light perfectly. I cannot brag about this lighter enough! Get you one cigar lovers you won't regret it. I'm thinking of getting another to keep in my car as a backup in case I forget it at home. I wish I could give it 10 stars!
