The XIKAR XK1 features an angled flame that the company says provides clearer visibility when lighting the cigar, ensuring greater accuracy and avoiding charring the cigar’s wrapper. It features a single action, plunger-style ignition along with a large fuel window flame adjustment wheel. Large air intake vents help ensure problem-free firing of the lighter, while a trap-door style lid keeps debris from getting into the torch.

It is designed to be both slim and portable, measuring 1.5 x 2.4 x 0.5 inches.
