Where can I find one of these for the ship?

I get mine at CVS or Walgreens. I have heard of Wal Mart having them, but never seen one there.

Walgreens is a typical place to get these. The price is good. Here is the online page for them

Don't know if you could get a discount on buying a bundle of them or not. Best to ask the store manager.

If you have some time, buying from Hong Kong is cheaper, although shipping is very slow. This is a lighter that many of us here prefer. Cheap and, in my experience, can take a real beating.

I have a few Ronsons but much prefer the Hong Kong lighters. They hold 2-3x the fuel and dont get hot like the Ronson.

I'll look into those as well. I'll be in Hong Kong in the near future...

As said, Wal-Greens is the most consistent place you will find them, but at $5/each. Wal-Mart is hit-or-miss (mostly miss for me), but the few times I have found them there for under $3 I've loaded up. I have so many floating around the house/car/office/golf-bag that I've stopped looking.

+1 for Wal-Mart. Every wally world here sells them for $2.97 at the checkout next to the tide togo pens and lint rollers and all the other impulse buys.

Thanks for all of the replies, I will be picking a couple of them up today prior to underway!

Around Atlanta, the $10 brushed Chinese Zippo is what they put on every aisle. On the rare occasions they do have the Ronson in stock, it's behind the counter at the tobacco register.

Funny you should mention that because I just went to my nearest Walmart yesterday in search of Ronsons. I checked every single checkout aisle and all I could find was the cheap $10 Zippo that you mentioned. Had to visit the Smoker Friendly across the street to pick one up and payed a ridiculous $4.99 for it. I swear just a month ago I was at that Walmart and got 2 Ronsons. Maybe they're about to stop carrying them? I sure hope not.

I had to pay $4.99 each for the two I bought from Walgreens...

Hmm. Guess it's been longer than I thought since I got a few of these
