My right wrist has had plenty of exercise over the years and works just fine.
But do you suffer from any lack of vision or palm hair growth? :mrgreen:
I've never found any real benefit from the angled flame either.

Hey well if you bought it right and ever want to get rid of it, the standard flame is probably easier to sell. Personally I like an angle flame for a pipe, but the Dunhill looks like the better lighter. The flint retainer knob looks bigger, the lift arm is an I-beam so probably stronger, the thumb-wheel looks like it has better bite. Did you get it known-working with no issues? Even the best lighters can have issues if they have been sitting unused for years, usually with bad seals or regulators that don't want to work.

I was always VERY reluctant to buy a more expensive gas lighter as they all have died on me in very short time. The ITT Corona Old Boy is quite the exception. Works like a charm and I don´t regret having bought one.
