I Need a Lighter
My only semi-decent lighter (A Xikar) has disappeared and I am tired of trying to use all the crappy ones I have laying around the house. Who can recommend a reasonably priced lighter that will work when I need it and has a farily large fuel capacity?
Thanks all Mark

I am a fan of Ronson JetLites. Of all the dozens I've bought only a few had working issues. And at their price I give em away lose em what have you without a worry.

Single flame torch, $3.00 at wallymart, will run for years if you use Vector or some other good fuel in them.

another option is to buy one of the combo deals from buylighters.com - the have grab bags sometimes with 6 lighters that may not be the best lighters but you don't feel bad if you lose them

One of my two favorite lighters. The other one is a tri-flame torch gifted me at a herf in 2004 by CW old timer Fingerless Phil (Rich) who doesn't visit much any more. We miss you Rich.

I agree with the Ronson as well - received on as a Secret Santa package here some years ago. Recently bought a Bugatti lighter on cbid for $19 shipped, great looking lighter and so far works great.

I recommend a Ronson lighter
Hi Mark,
I recommend a Ronson lighter. Ronson puts out great quality lighters. The popular Ronson Torch lighter, for example, has a one year warranty. To check that and other Ronson lighters, check out my website at http://www.ronson-lighters.com This website will show you a variety of lighters and links to where you can purchase them. They are all great looking lighters. I hope this was helpful. Michelle |

Not finding them at Wallyworld, at least not around here.Went through the first 10 pages of Google hits: nothing but inflated prices and eBay. Oh well.
