I wanted a table-top lighter. Something unique and reasonably priced. So I picked up "The Burner" by Alec Bradley. What a nice piece! Decent heft, looks unique and light even the largest sticks easily. I REALLY like the fact that it stays on until extinguished. You have control of the flame size via the little knob. And it hold quite a bit of fluid. I tried it out on a NUB 464T.

That's pretty cool.

I'm thinking a package of marshmallows would go nicely with that.

It's a freakin portable Bunsen burner. Hmm I may need one. Though a portable blow torch is about the same, but not as purdy :D

I would rate it an 8+. I think it's great! Wish I had one a long time ago...

oh well, ebay it is:) I would have waited till Sunday on cbid only to save $5, probably less. This makes lighter #15 I believe... I have a serious"accesories" problem.

Rocket, were are you? This guy is in Jersey, I am in Or, I hope it arrives before this weekend!

Just used mine for the first time... I like it. I still bring a torch out in case I need to touch up, but you can toast to light a cigar with his in record time, nice!

Looks like I'll have to pick up one of these.

It is seriously cool but is only good for the first light, but my goodness how quick that light is. Last night I toasted a cigar to lit in ~2 minutes, low and slow:)

If you have a single flame torch, this is a nice pickup... if you are using a bic I would first pick up a torch...
