Description
The VQP 3-Jet is a tabletop torch lighter aimed at cigar smokers who want a strong, even flame in a pocketable size. The nozzle produces three blue torch jets in parallel, so you can toast the foot of a cigar in a single pass instead of rotating the cigar under a single flame.
The yellow metal body measures roughly 8 cm long, so it slips into a pants pocket, a jacket, or a travel humidor without adding bulk. The base hides a small cigar punch, which is handy when you don't want to carry a separate cutter, or when you want to open the foot of the cigar before lighting it.
It runs on refillable butane, refilled from the bottom valve using a standard lighter butane can. The flame height is controlled by a small side wheel: if the lighter does not ignite on the first try, turn that wheel up a notch before assuming it is empty. The unit ships empty, since pressurized fuel cannot be sent through regular mail.
Why You'll Like It
- Three blue torch jets cover the cigar foot in a single toasting pass
- Compact metal body, easy to carry in a pocket or travel kit
- Built-in cigar punch on the base removes the need for a separate cutter
- Refillable with standard butane, not a disposable lighter
- Side flame wheel lets you tune intensity to the cigar size
Before You Buy
- Butane is not included; you will need to buy a refill can separately
- Body color is yellow; some catalog images show blue depending on the lot
- Not a heavy-duty kitchen torch: it covers cigars, cigarettes, and light tasks, not welding
- If you prefer a wider flame, a four-jet lighter may give you more surface area
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it include butane?
No. Due to shipping rules for pressurized products, the lighter arrives empty. You will need a standard refillable butane can, sold at tobacconists and accessory shops.
Does it work for large ring gauge cigars?
Yes. The three parallel jets give enough surface to light a thick cigar. For ring gauges above 60, the built-in punch can feel tight, so a separate guillotine or V-cutter may be more comfortable.
Is it a good gift option?
The yellow finish stands out, but the lighter ships in standard manufacturer packaging, not a gift box. If you plan to give it as a present, adding a case or pouch is a good idea.
Can it be refilled multiple times?
Yes. The tank is refillable, so a good fill of butane lasts many lighting sessions before you need to refill, depending on how long you hold the flame.
Is it wind resistant?
The torch-style jets hold up in a light breeze outdoors, although it is not a heavy tactical windproof lighter. In strong wind, cup your hand around the flame while lighting.
