I have been using my pipe lighter (Xikar Resource) to light my cigars. Is it better to use a torch lighter for cigars?

Soft flame or torch don't really matter outside of personal taste. The fuel matters though. A soft flame bic butane lighter works well. A zippo for instance that uses naptha which doesn't burn completely clean may taint the taste of a cigar. Potential adulterant of the cigar at lighting is also why you should wait until the sulfur end of a match burns off before lighting with a match.
