Well thought this would never happen to me. When I got into pipes about a year ago and was trolling around the website, I'd see all the different lighters and prices people have paid for them. I always assumed I'd stick to the cheap bic or slightly more expensive zippo/pipe insert lighter. After a year of constant refills and never having the zippo work when I need it most, I finally gave in. I decided to take the plunge and pick up an IM Corona.....after making sure my banker (wife) said it was alright, haha. Pretty excited when it arrived in the mail today and can't wait to try it out tomorrow! Added a couple photos, like the matte black look and hope it retains the color/lack there of over the years.
