If you put a normal Bic lighter to the bottom of a glass cup it will leave a bunch of black soot that is unburned gases, if you do the same with hemp wick it is far less. Butane also burns at 3500 degrees which is much hotter than a match or the hemp wick, this causes you to torch a cigar or a pipe making the hits hot and harsh. It is not necessary but it does make it more enjoyable and healthy.

hes absolutely right. I use my roll of hemp wick daily, and you can absolutely notice the difference in taste and smoothness of the smoke.

The revolution will be monetized!

Is wax soaked hemp better than butane? I thought butane produces only water and C02 after burning? Whatever, I still think it is kinda cool.

When it comes to cigars, I use hemp wick if I have it on me or a piece of cedar works well(if you use matches let the sulfur burn off first). The taste of the cigar changes slightly based on what you use.

Ha, thanks. It probably also has to do with the fact that I'm a complete ignorant when it comes to cigar smoking ^^

You just light the end of the hemp with a normal lighter and then just use the lit wick to light from there. So yes you still need a lighter initially but it keeps you from having to relight and get nasty harsh butane in your lungs. Sorry that is unclear, pulled that right from the Ital website Lips sealed

So you still need a lighter or match to light the wick? From the OP it sounded like those won't be needed no more.

My smoking days are long past, so it's unlikely I'll be your customer Tongue

However I'd be interested to see a pic. And how do you light the wick? Maybe a video?

its just a hemp rope thats covered in light wax.

Since you are using mtgox and pricing things in USD, you should try out their BBCode button creator and let us know how well it works.

I had no idea such a thing existed. I guess we shall see how it goes, easy to set up that's for sure except when you hit new button you have to deselect USD and reselect it or it will do it in bitcoins.

Just wanted to come in and give you a free bump. Hemp wick is the way to go if you're a smoker.

Are you tired of constantly having to replace your lighters? Does it feel like just yesterday your lighter ran out of fluid, and you had to search for something else to light your favorite smoking blend with? And now you find yourself looking for a place on the Internet to buy lighters?
The search is over with hemp wick, it is organic hemp covered in organic bees wax for the inner hippy in all of us.
I use it to light cigars if I do not have a matchbook on hand, has a great hemp scent and leaves no unwanted flavors on anything you smoke. I was not sold on it until I tried smoking with and without it and you can definitely taste a dramatic difference when you do not use butane to light it.
Shipping to lower 48 included.

Got rid of MtGox checkout. Too clunky and confusing to use in its current state.
