The Lighter Thread

s15driftking · 01-15-2009, 10:51 AM

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.

s15driftking · 01-15-2009, 10:54 AM

I will start. I just tried to bid on this one but i lost. Does anyone kow where i can just buy one of these puppies?

here's the link to the auction.

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.

md4958 · 01-15-2009, 01:25 PM

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

s15driftking · 01-15-2009, 01:27 PM

Yeah, i have a ronson and a colibri... the ronson was 1/15th the cost of the colibri and works magnificently.

I guess i'm just really into novelty lighters. i want to see whats out there.

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.

The rocket ship in my pocket is quite comfy. It also never misfires.

I love mine too! It's great and can used for spot welding.

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.

Prefer my Blazer PB207 for cigars.
Prefer my Dupont Linge II's for everything else

Starchild · 01-16-2009, 07:30 AM

I picked up a cheap benzomatic torch that I like to use when I'm home
Flexable torch

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

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.

Buckeye Jack · 01-16-2009, 08:36 AM

Per JPH, lots of novelty lighters, and practical ones too:

Not to rain on your parade or anyting, but the way the top of that one only flops open a quarter turn is going to piss you off. The top will get in your way as you try to toast the foot and its gonna get hot as hell.
