I Need a Lighter

I've got a bunch of lighters, from a bunch of different makers, but the one I keep coming back to is a Nibo triple-flame model that I've been using for years. It works better in low temps (hunting) and is more wind-resistant than a PB-207. After the third time I lost-then-found-after-I'd-bought-a-replacement-or-3 my first one, I put it on a duck call lanyard and wear it around my neck. Haven't lost it since, and I have about 5 backups in case I ever do. I didn't pay anywhere close to a c-note for the whole lot of 'em.

It's ugly as sin, but frankly, that's part of its charm. A lighter is a tool, and I frankly don't give a flying flip what it looks like as long as it gets the job done.

Nibo I like the Nibo Royal 44. Triple flame torch... You can find it for $19 - free shipping (took 3 days from order).

didn't say mine was broken, said it was cantankerous.

I also don't like lighters that will run out of butane without warning when you are far from home.

Ronson Jetlite - single flame torch that's available at WalMart for around five bucks. I got one recently and it's an inexpensive Zippo-style lighter that should last a long time.

I still like the triple flame torches I got at a shop last year in Lansing, MI for $6 but they're an hour away from me. I can't find one of them and the other one broke so this was a cheap find and I may have to pick up a couple more of them.
