What Is Your GoTo Lighter?

[jpmcwjr]

Mine is quite different in terms of adjustment valve placement and size of filler cap.

Our Postal workers strike is all over and I got my Chinese knock-off Dupont Lighter, now thats an impressive looking piece,,

 

[jpmcwjr]

I just received another one. My gosh, has the price gone up!! This one was ca. $36 including postage, but the first three were $20 0r $25.

Paulie- Don't drop it on your foot!

Enjoy.

Did not depressing the cover work?

 

[k9shag]

I found I was pressing too hard. I lightly pressed and turned and it worked.

Whatever is closest to me when I need to light it ?.

Got a Kiribi coming. Right now I'm using a Xikar something-or-other II. Damb thing is falling apart, but it lights every time. *knock on wood.

I have the same lighter sans the little pipe logo. Very clean lines, but small fuel tank.

There will long be lighters available, tobacco maybe not so much.

If I’m goin somewheres fancy, like the Dollar, I take my Kiribi.

At home I use a very rare lighter. I think it’s French: “Le Bic.”

 

[jpmcwjr]

Oui! C'est une compagnie Française:

"Société Bic S.A., commonly referred to simply as Bic and stylized as BiC, is a corporation based in Clichy, France, best known for making disposable consumer products such as lighters, razors, pens, and printed paper products. It was founded in 1945 by Baron Marcel Bich." Sales over $2 billion!

I caught a case of LAD after reading this thread and have this Sarome pipe lighter waiting under the tree this year.

IM Corona Old Boy.
Was thinking to get a St. Dupont or similar style as well.

 

[f5rd2hy]

Just got an Old Boy (chrome hairlines), so the bic will take a back seat for the foreseeable future.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Oh, boy, some Old Boy fans! Me, too.

 

[Elric]

Thanks to Shanez' heads-up about the 30% off coupon for Cigar Manor, I was able to replace my Corona Old Boy very economically!

I use matches if its a briar, but I usually smoke cobs.

So I have been using a bic in a Screwpop Pipe tool. If you are a fan of bics, that screwpop pipe tool is nice. Its a touch bulky, but overall I like it.
