When perusing high-end lighters such as the various Lotus lighter models on the market, one is oftentimes confronted with the description "single action". This means just the opposite as it does where six-shooters are concerned in that a single action lighter is more convenient than a double action.

When perusing high-end lighters such as the various Lotus lighter models on the market, one is oftentimes confronted with the description "single action". This means just the opposite as it does where six-shooters are concerned in that a single action lighter is more convenient than a double action. While most mechanical devices described as single action mean that each component in the device performs only one action, it means the user is only required to perform a single action where lighters are concerned.

A single action lighter is a lighter that performs all the necessary steps for ignition in one press of the button. Most often, butane lighters have a two-stage button. The first stage starts the flow of fuel and the second trips the ignition mechanism. A single action lighter does far more than this. High end lighters typically have a lid of some sort covering the jets. The single action opens up this lid with one press of the button.

Understandably, many shoppers consider more complex features to be something just waiting to break. With high-end lighters, this is not the case. While most products have become cheaper and less durable over the years, lighters are still expected to be heirloom-quality items in many cases. This means that the components are manufactured according to high standards of quality and with the intention of lasting for many years.

These actions are a nice compliment to the multi-tool devices oftentimes used to light cigars. In most cases, these lighters have a cutter attached. While the cutter will have to be operated manually, an auto-opening lighter is quite an elegant touch to anyone's smoking routine. These lighters are available in double and triple flame models, which makes them even more technically interesting. The name-brand lighters are of a very high-quality. Users can count on years of reliable service out of such a device.

A single action cigar lighter can add a bit of fun to one's smoking routine. Cigar smokers tend to regard the tools they use to trim and light their cigars as every bit as personal as the cigars themselves. One of these lighters provides a very convenient way to light up and should provide many years of reliable service. The door, of course, ensures that those most delicate parts of the lighter are not exposed to the environment. This can greatly increase the longevity of the device.
