Alpha Cigar Co. is the distributor of a new lighter.

It’s called the Fuego lighter, a battery-powered lighter that recharges via USB. The company says it can handle up to 62 ring gauge cigars, which are placed in the chamber, and light up to “15-20 lights.”

This is not the first electric rechargeable lighter, though this is the first time one has been designed for cigars.

Pricing is set at $65 and it is already available at a variety of stores.
