The latest member of Vector-KGM’s Icon series of lighters is now available, as the company has released the quad flame Icon III.

It is a tabletop lighter that measures 3.9 inches tall, 2.2 inches wide, and one inch wide, and weighs in a 0.5 pounds, according to the company. As with the other models in the Icon series, the Icon III uses a USB-powered touch sensor ignition to light the flames, which are arranged in a rhombus design with flames that merge to focus the firepower. The company says the lighter will work at elevations up to 10,000 feet.

Additionally, the Icon III offers a fold-out, 10mm cigar punch, as well as a visible fuel window on the back panel. The touch panel also shows the remaining charge left in the battery, with recharging accomplished via the included USB cable that plugs into the base of the lighter.

The Icon III is offered in eight colors: gunmetal satin, black matte, black crackle matte, sparkle black, sparkle blue, red lacquer, prism, and chrome satin. Each option is priced at $120.

This is the second Icon lighter to be released in recent weeks, as the company released the triple flame Icon II in September. The original Icon, also a triple flame, was released in 2018.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
