The Squadra is the value pick in the Palio lighter line, and the thing it gets right is the angle. Its three jets fire at a tilt rather than straight up, which means you can see the foot of the cigar while you toast it instead of working blind behind the flame.
The fuel tank is the other surprise. It is oversized for a lighter at this price, rated to light up to 100 cigars before a refill, which puts it in the same territory as torches costing three times more. Ignition is a single button press, no squeeze or pull-down to learn. Three flames cover a wide foot fast, so this handles toros and gordos that take a while on a single jet. At this price it is the lighter to keep in a golf bag or a glovebox, where losing it would not ruin your week.
