Here's why:
* Safety: Butane is a safe and reliable fuel for lighters. It's highly flammable but is also non-toxic and relatively inert.
* Performance: Butane burns cleanly and efficiently, providing a consistent flame for lighting cigars.
* Compatibility: Xikar lighters are specifically designed for butane fuel. Using anything else could damage the lighter.
Important Tips:
* Don't use lighter fluid. Lighter fluid is a different fuel altogether, and it can damage your Xikar lighter.
* Buy high-quality butane. High-quality butane will burn cleaner and last longer.
* Don't overfill your lighter. Overfilling can lead to leaks and potential fire hazards.
