I would like to ask you for your opinion about Tsubota lighters. Are they worth their price? How often does a regular gas lighter need maintenance? The flints are compatible with the Zippo ones? My previous inexpensive plastic pipe-lighter (electric) broke down after long years of usage and now I'm looking for something to replace it. Nowadays I use simple safety matches and they do the work. Still better than burning my fingers with regular lighters or than the taste of Zippo fluid - not to mention that its fuel is constantly evaporating even without using it. So please tell me about your opinion or experiences about Tsubota lighters or, if you have something else in mind to recommend, please don't hesitate to share it with us!
