Sure it's seen better days...

I leave it baking in the car in the summer and freezing in the winter. I've left it out all night in the rain on my back deck. It gets dinged and scratched from being in my pocket with my keys and change.

But it lights every single time.. What more could I want.

And the best part.. It's a cheapie.. I paid 10 bucks for it.

Please put it out of its misery ! ! LOL

Bring it to CigarFest 2006 and we will give it a nice burial.

Speaking of your lighters. Did you ever get that "other" one working????

Dave , that is it ! ! LOL

Looking good isn't it ????

The $50 'name brand'? Yea after I send it in for repair twice.

and what have we learned here?

Stick with the cheap crap. It works better.

Unfortunatly, I learned the hard way . . .

Hey, my " name - brand " sure looks pretty . . .

Cheapie are the way to go,

Especially if you are like me, and lose 1-2 a week.

LOL

I wish I could keep a lighter long enough for it to look like that.

Rich, don't tell me this is the same one that you had to hide from your Vietcong captors when you were stripped & searched.

It must have been a tight fit, considering you already had a watch & a cap up there. LOL!

No Bloody. I never could get that one out. I just left it.

On the plus side there is this neat looking cigar lighting trick I can do now.

I am wishing I didn't open this thread. It reminds me of my S.T. Dupont which was taken by airport security on my way to Florida. The guy is probably at home lighting his wife's candles with it now. That is, until it runs out and he chucks it, wondering why my "$165 lighter" isn't working.
