Vintage Styling and Quality Continued: The IM Corona Old Boy

Anyone know why some retailers (particularly in Europe) list the identical Old Boy lighters as “Savinelli Old Boy”?
Savinelli IT has Old Boys in stock
They’re a Savinelli / Corona collaboration and can be had with various adornments
Since I smoke outdoors these would be worthless. Pretty, though.
Think I’ll stick with my BICs.
If I’m wanting something fancy I’ll use the Dupont.

The IM corona is the best lighter on the market for its cost/quality ratio. I would love to get a DuPont but can’t justify spending that much, maybe someday. The corona is only usable indoors or on a non windy day outside. I must say I get the best smoking experience from wooden matches, which I believe has to do with the lower temperature of the flame and perhaps the source of the fire being from wood burning rather than butane. To my palate the tobacco tastes a little better with wooden matches.
I've been reading the unadulterated praises of the Old Boy for decades. Despite that, I use matches. They're much cheaper and very reliable.
