That's a very nice lighter, but at a higher price point then my old dunhill unique lighter. I mean mines not new but still kinda pricy for a zippo "type" lighter. But why not if you got it like that.
Which Luxury Lighter?

$32 on Amazon. No way is it more expensive than anything with DUNHILL written on it.
You can order it direct from China for half the price, but you gotta wait a couple of months to get it.
That is a great moniker for the Chinese knockoff DuPonts!
I have maybe five different ones, and to date they have been absolutely reliable, even the one that stays in the car year-round (until it needs a refill, then it gets swapped for a different Fauxpont).
That's why I fill my Zippo with Hoppes #9!
I've gotten to where I like naphtha in mine.
I only use my older (1995) brass Zippo with a butane pipe insert or matches.
I wish I could claim authorship! I have four, but recently got lazy and just use BiCs.
We keep a couple of BICs in the cars, and I do end up using them, but I prefer having a smaller flame. What happened to adjustable BIC-type lighters? Does anyone make them anymore? What I'd really love to have is an infrared pipe lighter.
Infrared or some way to manipulate a bright led and a small magnifying glass type contraption. I'm sure it would take some practice but that's what cobs a garbows are for. After you get the hang of such a device, one can control heat intensity and dispersion. I don't know maybe I'm crazy lol.
As seen on TV? I am half aware of a device that may do that. I FF through commercials except when I am half asleep.
So do I. Ask kids we made it with gasoline and Styrofoam cups."I love the smell of napalm in the morning!"
No way to draw them down into a chamber. They work well for cigarettes and cigars though.
I dropped an Old Boy and it cracked the fuel chamber. The repair cost would've been the same cost as a new lighter.
I dropped an old gal and they were able to fix the hip. Medicare covered the entire bill.
