If you look up the word suave in any dictionary, you will instantly be confronted with a moving picture of a gentleman in a tuxedo whipping a lighter out of his pocket and either (depending on the dictionary); striking up his own pipe, or gallantly striking up the cigarette on the stick of an awaiting damsel.
However, the act of reaching into your pocket and un-holster your lighting device creates just another opportunity for an error to occur thus eliminating any possibility of suaveness. From dropping the lighter out of your pocket, losing your grip on it and sending it flying and flaming across the room, to that awkward moment when you're wearing pants that don't have pockets, and thus reaching for your lighter would be physically impossible.
The wonderful folks at Cool Material have introduced a solution to this potentially embarrassing scenario, but eliminating the distance that exists between your fire and your fingers. Only adding to the cool factor, is that they own the title of one of the only sets of cufflinks to come with a warning document. While these warnings appear to actively impede any ultra suaveness on behalf of their users, any reasonably savvy user would say they only exist as guidelines, and the possibility of lighting your sleeves and to that extent yourself are so minimal, that you should soak your sleeves in kerosene because admittedly, lighting a cigarillo with your whole hand would be infinitely more amazing.
At the affordable $90, I think its worth it, purely for the worlds most entertaining wardrobe change that would follow.
