What is Wooden Match?

A Wooden Match is a traditional tool used for lighting cigars. Many cigar enthusiasts prefer wooden matches, particularly long cedar matches, as they provide a clean, sulfur-free flame that does not affect the flavor of the cigar. The use of wooden matches also allows for a slower, more controlled light, ensuring that the cigar’s wrapper is evenly ignited without scorching it. Using wooden matches is considered a classic and refined method of lighting a cigar, and many high-end cigar lounges provide them for customers.
