It's probably a reference to the old saying "Three on a match," which was a soldier's superstition that if three soldiers lit their cigarettes using one match, one of the soldiers would be killed in combat. Sometimes, in civilian life, this might be modified to "X on a match." Nobody says that anymore since smoking is nowhere near as common as it used to be; at least, not in America.
