🔥 + 📍 The VARGAS: 2 essential accessories in 1 object
Torch flame
Precise, even, and wind-resistant lighting. Heats the entire foot of the cigar without contact — zero unwanted taste, perfect combustion from the first puff.
Retractable cigar punch
Punches the closed head of the cigar to create a precise draw channel. More discreet than a cigar cutter, ideal for cigars with a round head or when you want to keep the wrapper intact.
Choose your color
Silver
Elegant and timeless — matches all outfits and styles. The classic choice for discreet everyday use.
Yellow
Bold and distinctive — easily found in a bag or on a table. For those who embrace their originality.
How to use the VARGAS?
1
First gas refill — insert the nozzle of a butane gas cartridge into the refill valve (bottom face). Press firmly for 3 seconds. Wait 2 minutes before first use.
2
Prepare the cigar with the punch — unfold the integrated punch and gently pierce the head of your cigar with a steady rotating motion. The punch creates a precise draw channel without damaging the filler or wrapper.
3
Light the cigar — bring the torch flame 1 cm from the foot. Slowly rotate the cigar to heat the entire surface evenly. Wait until the foot is fully incandescent before drawing.
4
Store the punch — fold the punch back into its housing once the cigar is ready. The VARGAS remains compact in your pocket — ready for the next cigar.
Punch vs. cigar cutter: the punch is recommended for round-headed cigars (Piramides, Torpedo, Belicoso) — it preserves the wrapper's intact shape. For straight cigars (Robusto, Corona, Churchill), both work. The punch provides a more concentrated draw, the cutter a wider opening.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a punch and a cigar cutter?
A punch pierces the head of the cigar and creates a narrow draw channel — it preserves the wrapper's shape intact, ideal for round-headed cigars (Torpedo, Piramides). A cigar cutter slices the head and creates a wider opening — more suitable for straight cigars for an ample draw. Both are valid depending on preference.
What gas should I use to refill the VARGAS?
Standard butane gas, available in supermarkets, tobacconists, or hardware stores. Press the refill valve (bottom face) for 3 seconds, wait 2 minutes before first use. All butane cartridges with a standard nozzle are compatible.
Why choose VARGAS over HOUDINI or GAMBIT?
The VARGAS offers a more generous size (7.8 × 4.4 cm) with an integrated punch — ideal if you prefer a wider grip. The HOUDINI offers 3 simultaneous torches for faster heating on large ring gauges. The GAMBIT stands out with its authentic flint ignition. All three have a punch or not depending on the model — see the comparison above.
Is the VARGAS suitable for outdoor use?
Yes — the torch flame remains stable in light drafts. In strong winds, briefly shield the lighter in the palm of your hand when lighting. This is one of the main advantages of a torch flame over a classic flame.
Is the VARGAS a good gift for a cigar enthusiast?
Yes — lighter + punch in one elegant object, delivered in a Collection box ready to give. It's the ultimate practical gift for a cigar smoker, ideally paired with a cigar cutter or a humidor for a complete set.

Easy to use! Loved being cooler on the course!
Color: Dark Blue/Green/Black/Pink
Used this yesterday on the golf course! My sister in law had a little neck cooler that dried up right away and did nothing. She used mine to wet her scarf as I had the package! Mine did drip on my shirt a bit but it's only water and dried up quickly. Towel stayed wet through 9 holes of golf, happy I have them! I'd keep a larger zip lock bag for transportation to and from the course as if you don't get the zip lock perfect, it could leak. Lightweight, mine didn't have an odor, is longer than I thought and worked great!

Better quality than the no-name brands
Size: 3 Pack, Color: Optic Yellow
I’ve played with quite a few different pickleballs over the past couple of years, including several cheaper “no-name” brands, and these Franklin X-40 balls consistently perform better for me.
The biggest difference is durability. These seem to hold up much better to hard hits and regular outdoor play without cracking as quickly as many lower-cost balls I’ve tried. Even after multiple games, they maintain their shape and playability better than most bargain options.
I also really like the bright optic yellow color. They’re easy to track during fast rallies and remain very visible in different lighting conditions, which makes a noticeable difference during competitive games.
Performance-wise, they have a very consistent feel and bounce. There’s a reason these are used so widely in organized play and tournaments—they simply play reliably from game to game.
While they may cost a little more than generic brands, I’ve actually found them to be a better value over time because they last longer and don’t need replacing nearly as often.
Overall, these are my go-to outdoor pickleballs now. Durable, highly visible, and consistent on the court. Definitely worth it if you play regularly.

The Indispensable Standard for Outdoor Play
Size: 12 Pack, Color: Optic Yellow
As someone who genuinely lives on the pickleball court, having reliable equipment isn't a preference—it’s a necessity. The Franklin Sports X-40 Outdoor Pickleballs are the gold standard for a reason. From the moment you serve, the flight is true, offering predictable speed and a consistent, high-bounce off the court face, making every rally feel authentic and competitive.
The 40 precision-drilled holes ensure that they cut through the wind effectively, minimizing drift on those breezy days that are inevitable in outdoor play. I’ve hit these with powerful serves and vicious third-shot drops, and they maintain their shape and integrity beautifully, far outlasting many other brands I’ve tried.
However, let’s be honest about the one thing every dedicated player knows: you can never, ever have enough pickleballs. Even with the durability of the X-40, balls get lost in the bushes, occasionally crack under extreme force, or are simply needed for high-volume drilling. If you’re serious about the game, stocking up on these is essential—not just because they're great, but because having a full inventory is the only way to ensure the game never stops. If you’re looking for a ball that delivers official, tournament-level performance and holds up play after play, the X-40 is the one to get.

Bright, Smooth, and Worth the Price
Size: 12 Pack, Color: Optic Yellow
These pickleball balls are excellent quality and absolutely worth the price. I was hesitant at first because they cost a little more than other options for the same quantity, but the difference is obvious once you use them. They glide smoothly, feel like high‑end material, and the bright color is a huge plus especially in low lit areas where visibility can be an issue. They’re easy to spot on the court and stand out even when multiple games are going on.
The color is noticeably brighter than most pickleballs I’ve seen, which makes them easy to identify and retrieve. The overall quality and size really speaks for itself. I highly recommend them.

Long lasting
Size: 12 Pack, Color: Optic Yellow
The best balls on the market, they break after about 10 hours of play, so great value!
