Hey,
I was just browsing ebay and saw some really cool looking torch lighter and fugired i'd come here to ask if anyone knew and e-site where i could purchase one because this one was the only one i found on ebay. So i searched here for a thread with similar likings and found nothing.
I figured people could use this thread as a utility to discuss lighters, post pics, help identify, and find out "where to get" certain pieces that they were looking for.

http://www.cigarmony.com/ has a nice selection of lighters. I think they posted a 5-10% discount code on this or another cigar forum too.
I'd be hesitant on buying a lighter on Ebay unless it's a no-name an priced right, or from a bonafied retailer if going high end. The Dunhill Trench Torch lighter has been the nicest torch lighter I have tried, but you pay for it.

it doenst seem like that rocket ship would be very comfy in the pocket. I own a few cheapies and one of the Evertorches that they are having a GB on right now.
For pure functionality, looks aside I would have to recommend a Blazer... I dont own one, but have used several. They are great, always light, and have a huge fluid tank

Ditto that as there is a ton on Ebay,,,even Ronson specialty lighters with different emblems on them. I actually picked up two more Ronsons at WallyWorld today because they had them,,,about 8 of them but only took the 2,,,I have about 10 of them now and I am still using the very first one I got and it works first time every time.

Is that a lighter in your pocket or are you just glad to ...... :r

The Blazer PB 207 Rocks :ss
I love mine too! It's great and can used for spot welding. :D
My Extend is also a solid lighter. It has served me well for the past three years. I've never had much luck with Colibris though. I have two that have gone caput.

I picked up a cheap benzomatic torch that I like to use when I'm home
Flexable torch (http://www.bernzomatic.com/PRODUCTS/UTILITYLIGHTERS/tabid/214/ctl/Detail/mid/1145/xmid/6923/xmfid/3/Default.aspx)

Other than that I've got a Ronson and I've enjoyed the triple flame torch I got from Taboo

The Ronson was a gift, and the others were less than $5. There are too many cigars I want to be spending a bunch on a lighter.

The top will get in your way as you try to toast the foot and its gonna get hot as hell.

I love IM Corona lighters, but they're a bit pricey. They've got a forever warranty; if it ever breaks just send it in and it'll get shipped back fixed no questions asked. I've had one for two years with no problems and it's my everyday lighter.
I have heard all the negative reviews of the colobri lighters, however I have never heard anything about their flint soft flame lighters, there are some cheap online and I am thinking about getting one. Does anyone have any experience with them?
Got to second the Ronson "Jet-lite" series at Walmartz for 3 bucks each. If you can find em, on the "smoker's aisle" where they send the scumbags. They work and work and work and work and work and work.

^^^ I was smoking at a local pub's heated patio on Sat. night and some guy was making fun (funning around) about my 3 dollar lighter and how i should go buy a more expensive one that will outlast a stupid little 3 dollar lighter. HE recommended that i buy a colibri (hahaha) because it would CERTAINLY outlast my 3 dollar Ronson...
I proceeded to shut him up by taking 7 minutes out of my life and to light the Ronson 157 times (before it ran out of fluid) continuously without skipping a beat.
