If you're looking for a great little torch, for either kitchen stuff, or like me you enjoy a good cigar, this torch is perfect. I love the flame adjustment, and capacity, and the stand means never having to worry about setting down a hot piece of metal like those other pocket torch lighters. Keep in mind that torches like these burn WAY hot, so exercise a bit of common sense and caution, and you should be good, whether searing a steak or toasting a cohiba, this one works!
