Since you are one of our treasured Marines ... we'll let you 'yell it' this time ... LOL! I'm sure you are use to it ... ;^)

Wish I could help ... but since I smoke only cigars, a Zippo just doesn't cut it, for me anyway ... leaves behind a nasty lighter fluid taste in the cigar.

Those 'cheapie' jet-flame lighers that have been great for me (and have lasted over two years, and are still going strong), are the Lucky Torch 2-pak over at cigarsinternational.com going for $12.95 and the Ascot Lighter 2-pak going for $15.00 ...

... of course, you can get them for half that when they come up for auction here.

Also, a little more expensive (unless you get them at auction) anthing Colibri has worked well for me ... check out the 'merchandise' auction going on now!

I agree that the cheapo jet lighters are great. I got one in Saudi for $3 and it still works a year later! If you do buy a Colibri, do NOT skimp on the fluid when you refil...the Ronco stuff will clog the lighter...you're better off paying a few extra bux for the good stuff (triple refined). I do have a nice Colibri with a guillotine cutter built in and a nice Zhenga jet with a bullet cutter built in, but I use the cheapo the most!
