[QUOTE="Singed, post: 607945, member: 6261"] Just started a bowl of Casanova in my Rattray's. It got me wondering about the comparative temperatures of matches and lighters. Matches apparently provide a lit temperature averaging about 650 degrees C, a butane lighter averages approximately 1200, twice as hot. I imagine this might have an impact on the initial flavour of tobacco as we smoke. I know matches taint the flavour of tobacco if the head is not consumed before an initial light. I have often felt that, properly executed, the initial light from a wooden match is more flavourful than with a butane lighter. This is backed up, in my own experience, by lighting pipes at a campfire with light tinder rather than a match. Discuss? [/QUOTE]
