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.

Where are the Ronsons?!!!! They used to be all over the Wally Worlds and now I can't find them.

They're all at my local CVS!

You can find good "lot" deals on them on Ebay

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?

My Walmart still sells these. $ 2.94.

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)

shilala · 05-01-2011, 06:25 PM

We have a CVS and Walgreens right up the street. I'll check both of them to see what they have.

Bunker · 05-01-2011, 07:03 PM

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