Thanks for all the recs. =d> Dropped by Wally World this afternoon and grabbed two of the Jetlites, one for the pocket and one for the golf bag. Seems to be a steal at $2.98 ea.

Will keep the bic and CI matches for around the house and as back-up.

For a cheapie, I recommend the Madelaine single-torch. It's a push-button style, like the S.T. Dupont except it's on the front instead of the side. I've been using it for 3 years now, and it works great. No idea how much it cost because Tuck gave it to me (thanks again, bro!), but he said it was cheap, so probably sub-$20.

I've never used a Ronson Jetlite, but obviously there is a lot of love for those.

As far as pricy ones, I have a Xikar triple torch that I got here which I love, and an S.T. Dupont Mini that is really awesome--it's tiny, which has both pros and cons (perfect pocket/short travel lighter).

I typically light my cigars with the triple torch then use the single for touch-ups (i'm stupid about burn, so I touch up pretty often).

There was an Opus X that was attatched to the ronson I would have sent you

Story of my life, figured that the postage would have been more than the lighter was worth.

Thanks anyway.

A $50.00 cigar wasn't worth the postage?????
Dont remember asking for you to send money.

Silly noobs.


Just remember to purge the lighter everytime you go to fill it.
Some of the new ones need to be reset on the flame adjustment.
you got my e mail if you need the help. Thats all I do now is repair lighters from 2:00 am to 6:00 am

FWIW, I don't advocate purging everytime you fill a lighter, you waste a lot of gas that way if you want to top off before you head out. I would only purge if the lighter appears to have gas and won't produce a flame.

have to purge to get the air our otherwise you will get less and less of lights per filling

once you own a lighter that has a window in it you will see what happens
