Ronson Jetlite
Finally got to try one of these out this morning, thanks to gui-tarzan.
Chilly, windy morning, and the lighter performed flawlessly. These things are more wind-resistant than lighters that sell for 10X as much, so I can see they'll be perfect to carry in the hunting backpack, toss in the truck, etc. Excellent value, definitely recommended!

I really believe in them. and seriously, a disposable bic costs $1-2? One of the great bargains available.
The only drawback is that they are ugly as hell after a few weeks of pocket carry. |

At 33 degrees with about a 15MPH north wind this morning, I about froze my ass off, but I had no issues lighting up and enjoying a ~4 year old Old Henry robusto.

I just found a 12 pack of them on Ebay for $45 or so with free shipping. you ought to snag that, or somebody else who's in the availability dead zone should.

I feel like such a piker, I've only got one.
I use it more than any of my other lighters.

I picked up a nice Ronson jet light while back home in September.
Worked great until I ran out of butane, and the shit they sell here clogged it up.
