So both of my lighters have finally died on me. They are like $5 dollar ones and I can’t find any inlet to refill them. Can anyone recommend a good lighter for under $30 bucks or so?

Get 10 for 18 bucks. Even if a couple are duds, you should get a couple years out of 10 of them.

And for bigger ring cigars, he uses this.

Me, I favor either the Ronson Jetlite or the old reliable Bic disposable.

Now your talking!!!!! More power!!! More fire!!! Culinary torches go through lots of butane though but butane is cheap. I fear no wind with a culinary torch hah.

I use Bic’s as well, especially since they allow then on planes so when I travel, Bic for the win. Cheap, last a long time, work every time but wind is my enemy. Getting better at lighting in winds though.

I bought two similar one's to those at the dollar store. A small one and bigger one, and they work as good as any lighter I have ever used.

I just steal mine from my friends at herfs, I find it gives me a really nice selection and I know they are going to work, well 60% of the time they work every time.

That and any of the suggestions above.

For years I gave up and exclusively used Bic's, nothing wrong with them other than fighting off wind.

I know several people that use this refillable torch.

I'll be purchasing something like this in the near future, whenever I get around to it. I've seen good things recently about using it for travel

This has become my go to lighter, it's cheap and works really well.

I can hear Nick Nolte in my head. "Reggie...can I have my lighter back?" :D

As long as everything else works in Mexico. -(P

Similar to the cigar traveler, I use the soto pocket torch. Same concept and I just use dollar store refills.

Mine did get confiscated by tsa though. I guess it depends on the agent. Made it through sfo with it and then through a connecting flight out of San Diego that’s where it got confiscated.

I always take the lighter apart (3 pieces — 2 case and 1 lighter) and store the lighter separately from the case.

The Cigar Traveler lighter also uses dollar store lighter inserts. However the refills that come with the lighter are refillable, so you get the best of both worlds.

I’m guessing that the refillable inserts would also work in the Soto.

Can’t remember if I had taken it a part or not. I will be taking it apart for future travels. I do know that my current one did survive a battle with the washer :D
