Same here,,,my Walmart always seems to carry them now and I have a dozen of them just in case. Still on my very first Ronson I bought a year ago and the things will not stop working no matter how badly I treat it. I don't purge before recharging, I drop it on the cement drive way, I washed twice in the laundry,,,,unreal how this thing just will keep on going.

I found these lighters for sale online at Finck Cigar Company http://www.finckcigarcompany.com for $6.95 as of today.
Hope this helps as I'd looked near and far for this lighter after my Walmart discontinued carrying them. |

I have had some beautiful lighters over time. I have none of them now. In fact, expensive lighters fear my name. I have a couple of inexpensive lighters that I just can't lose. I won't ever buy an expensive one again. I will be featuring the Ronson at my Festival cigar sales this summer.

My point is what happened to the 2.97 price at Wal Mart. I called Zippo/Ronson customer relations and they told me Walgreens and CVS were the only retailers on their list. I asked what happened with WalMart carrying them and she said she didn't know. I think Ronson realized that they could get a bit more for their product. Only thing I can think of.
No longer the magical lighter to me. Yes 5 bucks is reasonable, but I feel cheated somehow. ![]() |

You have to remember, when Walmart tells you to sell your lighter for under 3 bucks, you do it or your done. They were probably loosing their asses. I know I picked mine up last year for under 4 bucks at Walgreen's. I just can't kill this thing, it definitely outlasted my 3 Colibri's that all took a crap after a few months.

You feel cheated by paying $5 for a quality torch lighter that will outlast most lighters that cost 10 times that? Wow. I for one am glad that walmart no longer carries these. I hate the fact that they can dictate to manufacturers what they will pay for their product. That's kinda bass ackwards from the way it should be, don't you think? |

Drug Mart near me has some, but they are funny. I don't think they have the all-metal ones. I will check tomorrow.
(Just looked online, they are the Comets, not the Jetlite. I will check and see if they have the Jetlite)

I check the various local Wally Worlds everytime I am there but I haven't seen a Ronson in about 6 months.
