IPCPR 2019: Bugatti Group
Groundbreaking changes are few and far between these days when it comes to cigar accessories, but Bugatti Group managed to release two different unique lighters during this year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show that could count as such.
Bugatti returned this year with a brand new booth that showed off its new products well. The new lighters stole the show for the company and for good reason, as you can see in the video detailing their features below.
One of two new lighters that share some fairly unique traits: user-replaceable burner cylinders and a butane cylinder that replaces the traditional method of filling your lighter and the associated headaches of bleeding, purging and refilling. Each cylinder holds 18 ml of butane, which the company says is good for approximately 30 days before needing to be swapped out. It can also be used to fill other lighters as it comes with a universal valve. The Mirage, which comes with a flip-up lid, is available in six color options: gun metal with either black, green or red accents, or chrome with either blue, purple or yellow accents.
MSRP: $99.99
Release Date: July 2019
Production: Regular Production
The Vulcan offers an adjustable angled torch so you can customize your lighting experience a bit more. Like the Mirage, its burner cylinder is user-replaceable without the need for tools, and it is refilled via a swappable butane fuel cylinder. It is also available in six color choices: gun metal with black, green or red accents, or chrome with, blue, purple or yellow accents.
MSRP: $99.99
Release Date: June 2019

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
