Palio Squadra Triple Torch Lighter

A torch lighter from Palio, built for the everyday job of getting a cigar lit and keeping it lit.

Three jets are angled 30 degrees toward each other, so the flames meet in one precise tip. That angle reaches the foot of a big ring gauge without tilting your wrist, and the combined heat covers it fast.

The oversized translucent tank shows your fuel level and holds enough butane for about 100 lights between fills. A large wheel sets the flame height, and wide air vents help prevent overheating and misfires at altitude. It comes in black, blue, clear, green and red, and refills with standard butane.

Butane loses pressure in the cold, which is why a lighter that fires all summer sputters in January. A few minutes in a pocket usually fixes it.
