seems a bit much for a lighter.

Agreed Rick.....100 bucks less and you could have a Ronson and use the 100 for some good smokes.....

fools and $$.....soon part ways.

but hey, to each his own!

A competitor's site is selling the same lighter for $165, so the bid seems about right.

But why?.....Elitist thing I am guessing.

or maybe an overprices piece of metal turns the WO into a fuente.....JMO

That is just plain ridiculous! Some people have too much money! LoL

Even if I were "rich" I don't think I would spend $100 on a lighter...let alone $200 which is the MSRP.

Geesh!

LoL

That's about the going rate for ST Dupont lighters here.

They're nice lighters. I'm not sure if they are $100 or $200 nice, but they are nice.

Rick, MACS has one as does X, next time you smoke with either of them, see for yourself.

BTW, Rick, you drive a Caddy right? Why not a Geo Metro or a Ford Escort? Caddys do seem to cost a bit much for a car. It's just transportation right?

I have a few of those and they are the best lighter you can own.......can be a little on testy side if you are not careful with it, but a great lighter..

Elitist gear 101....

I will take Perdomo Vector over any lighter, any time.

If it provides a few years of reliable service, I suppose it just might be worth it.

I've been a fan of Ronson Jet-Lite's, but they're only good for a couple/few months before getting finicky. And now that my WalMart doesn't have them, they're twice as expensive with shipping. In the past 3 years I've gone through at least 10 or more assorted jet lighters, most not lasting a month. (Latest was the Cigar Savor lighter that came with from CBID in the RyJ Habana gift box - 5 days!!!)

The Perdomo lighter is nice, but not much good for pocket or briefcase.

So, while I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on one lighter, I probably have spent that much on lighters. And much more worth of frustration.

It’s all of those rich guys taunting us. Money means nothing to them. They read the threads here and laugh. It is sick. They light their cigars with $100 bills.

I am not rich, and I have never lit a cigar with anything bigger than a 10 dollar bill.......Ha

Charlie

I guess I have good luck with lighters. I have had one ronson for 2yrs now, and some other jet light that says "cigar" on the side for over a year. I don't treat them nice either. I use el cheapo butane also, Zippo brand.

RE #9

Ever try to carry that in your pocket for awhile?

I think not.

right. we sold the caddy and bought our scion. i hated the caddy from the day we got it, but toby wanted to have a caddy. when she saw the scion in a vegas casino she was intrigued.

one day on the way home from work, we stopped at a toyota dealership and looked closely at the scion. a few weeks later we bought it for $17,000, spent a few thousand to add skirts and a sun visor.

we have it 5 or more years, have put 25.000 miles on it and with rack and pinion steering and the tight gears for the engine, it scoots. it reminds me of all my 50's sports cars because of the way it sits the road.

the other day, in a parking lot some guy asked me if he would jump start his car with his cables. he was driving a late model escalade,

the world is a strange place to live.

how do i know why my speakers don't play anymore and a head set doesn't get much volume? could it be the computer and not the speakers.

i've checked the few things i know, but i don't know what else to check.

ask a question, get a question. ping rick for your helpful information please. thanks

9^ That Vector Thundra (Perdomo version or without logo) is a damn good lighter. I got mine for $19.98 and it's been great.

Just not paying that for a lighter.AS for the Ronsons.......I lost one in Vegas that was over 2 years old.I think the key to the Jetlites is to drain the crap out of them they're shipped with.Buy some quality fuel(I use nothing but Lava)and use nothing else in them.With the exception of a few,I've gotten great service from the Ronson Jetlites.
