You are an IMCO man Bill? Well I'll be.

I just picked up this NOS IMCO streamline which hopefully won't waste as much fuel as my Zippo.

Aaaayup. I like the little Imcos from spc. I don't feel so bad when I lose or break one. I lose them out of pants pockets about as often as I do knives. I usually have a couple in boxes in case ye olde fauxpont isn't handy.

Maybe I'm taking brand loyalty (not to mention the whole vintage thing) a bit overboard, but my favorite, used daily, is a 1960s Dunhill Aldunil--a model made in France that might have only been available at the Paris store. At least if cleaned regularly and fed a diet of Dunhill butane, it's even as reliable as a Bic, and lights in doors every time.

If you get tired of buying the little overpriced squirt bottles of Zippo fluid, just go to the hardware store and buy a quart of VM&P naphtha. Costs about $7.00-$8.00. Cut off the cap, and pop on a Ronsonol squirt top. Lighter fluid from now til the cows come home.

My Vertigo lighters serve me well @ $15 each.View attachment 36139
Interesting! How big is the tank? Acquired online, or where?

You can put your location in your Profile—(please!—because people will forget!) and which will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, etc., etc..

Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state.

I believe I purchased my first from P&C (Checked, now $17.99). Second from Ebay for $15 flat incl shipping. I consider the tank ample, certainly as compared to the Zippo butane insert which was an unmitigated disaster. I like the faux leather feel in my hand.

An IMC Pipemaster is my main go to.

If it’s windy I’ll use the zippo or nimrod.
sometimes matches but quite rarely
