TABLE LIGHTER BOCOTE

THE DESIGN

Bocote is a fine hardwood native to Central America, prized for its unique grain and warm colour ranging from golden yellow to dark brown. Beyond its beauty it is a genuinely durable material, and no two pieces carry quite the same figure.

THE FLAME

Inside sits a Vector KGM triple-flame torch insert: a butane burner that fires three angled jets into a single concentrated cone. It lights broad and even across the foot of a cigar, so a large ring gauge toasts uniformly rather than scorching at one edge, and the jet flame holds steady outdoors where a soft flame would not. A hinged cap lifts to fire the burner, a rotary adjuster sets the flame height, and the tank refills from the base with premium refined butane.

THE CRAFT

The body is turned from a single block of solid wood and finished to bring out the depth of the grain — lighter in the hand than the marble bodies, but still weighted to stay upright on a table while a cigar is turned above the flame. Built around the cigar ritual, it is meant to become a lifelong companion rather than a lighter that is replaced. Handmade from natural materials: expect gentle variation in veining, grain and tone from the photograph.

CARE

Wipe the wood with a soft, dry cloth; the tone deepens naturally with age, which is part of its character. Bleed the tank and refill with premium butane only, and allow the insert a moment to reach room temperature after filling before lighting.
