Good looking lighter but a bit rich for my po'arse blood. LOL

Niiice! LOL

…my old Jetline New York triple flame lighter.

Not sure how long I’ve had it / been using this particular one but it has been rock solid for at least 6-7 years. Had another one but kept dropping it and eventually it stopped working. A little more careful with the “new” one but it’s taken a couple of dives.

I know Jetline was sold a few years ago and reports of the product now haven’t been the best so glad I got mine when it was made by the “old” company.

Called the burner. I have a habit of putting lighters in my pocket. He’s big enough I won’t steal him from myself so he just sits out there.

After that I like the xikar single flame jet. Have a few. No troubles yet.

I have a ton of lighters scattered around but my two go to are the Jetline Bugle single flame torch and a banged up old Prometheus dual flame torch. The Jetline is pretty big and holds a ton of fuel and real easy control and flame adjustment and even has a cigar rest on top. The Prometheus is small but still holds a descent amount of fuel and kind of roundy so it rides easy in my pocket. I also have a big ass quad table lighter that lives on the front porch. I hadn't thought about it, but I think I'll call her Marge.

One of mt favorites is a Zippo butane retro fit. Love that "click"

I still have my red Dupont Xtend... which I got at auction here on CBid years ago.

Still works, too.

yep Bics! I lost two nice torches .that got passed around and never came back
At home I use a Moretti Churchill and my favorite Zippo retro fit

Still have mine also. It's about 15 years old now and has been dropped about 2 dozen times, all nicked up but never fails to light. Think I paid about $75 but they go for twice that now.

As my dad told me long ago: Buy quality if you can, you'll never be disappointed.

our Dads shared the same knowledge...mine said to always buy the best you can afford...maybe they learned from having grown up during the Great Depression and WWII...

I've added a corollary...or filled in a blank, based on life experience...these words of wisdom don't generally apply to everyday purchases, like groceries or short term goods and services...it's OK to have a meal at Mortons every once in a while, or but not everyday...sometimes Taco Bell will do the trick...

I think they were talking about things that are important and expected to last awhile...cars, houses, tools, electronics, work clothes, shoes, jewelry for the wife


my Dad had his own corollary, and always said: Only buy what you can afford

I dunno jeeb...I've prolly spent more than $1,000 on 15-18 or so "expensive" lighters, including a couple table models...but I keep using cheap plastic Eagle torch angle lighters. I bought a 20 pack from someplace for about $50, a few years ago. Still have about 10 new ones in the box... 6 are used and empty, but operational and refillable... a couple are in use in the man cave and have been refilled many times... and a couple gifted. Haven't had to throw one away yet, (maybe one or more of the 6 surplus lighters will be balky) but if I do...no biggie...

The problem with the expensive ones are that they are unreliable, or go through fuel quickly and need frequent refills. The cheap plastic "throwaway" but refillable Eagle single torch has become my go-to everyday lighter. I decided to go with the Eagles when I took a nice looking Xikar double torch slimline pocket lighter with me to a wedding a few years ago. Filled and checked at home before I left, yet it failed after a couple of uses at the wedding. I had an Eagle in the car, bought at some gas station, for on-the-road smokes, and that one worked every single time. It also has a bigger tank than most expensive lighters, and the translucent body allows you to see how much fuel remains. So it looks cheap...BICish...don't care...

I use the Eagles. They last long enough, and they are super reliable. They're not picky about the butane either. I like that because I don't like having to buy high end butane. It's just an added expense.

Delta and the rest of you brothers, thanks for the heads up. I’ve never used an Eagle. I’ll look for them. Currently, my best lighter is a quad torch and it is reliable but uses a lot of gas. It’s never far from empty. The problem is that even in the wind it doesn’t hold a stiff jet, so to speak and I can easily scorch the foot which irks me. I don’t usually smoke away from my home so I would not have anyone to show off a fancy lighter to anyway. I will definitely look for the Eagle lighters. I appreciate all of the suggestions from you gentlemen.
My current lighter is the jetline brand

Delta, I got a 4 pack of the Eagle refillable torch lighters for about $10 or around that price. I like them. Thanks for the tip.
