The Emperor takes a bath...

After lighting up a beautiful 2002 ECA Upmann #2 yesterday, my favorite lighter of all-time - a Vector Emperor - went through the wash. (I also have a very soggy leather holder) My wife says: "This your lighter? It went through the wash!" Yikes - my triple flame, flint lighter! Have had it for around 6 or 7 years. Well - I waited a few hours - bled all the butane out, refilled, put in a fresh flint and.... IT'S AS GOOD AS NEW!!!

Anyone ever looking for a great triple flame adjustable (not a Torch) lighter - this is it!!! (Also has a built-in punch)

I have one and have tried to get more. I don't think they make them anymore. I've ordered two from LightersX and have had to cancel both times. I absolutely would not recommend buying from them.

If anyone knows of another outlet for them, please post as I would get a second in a second.

Sorry - didn't mean to endorse the vendor. I posted the link only to show a picture. I actually got mine from Bargain Humidors many years ago...

Whatever you do, do NOT put it in the microwave to dry it out. I did that with a leather wallet and had to buy a new wallet.
