General Discussion>It had to happen some day

The incredible cheap Colibre knock-off lighter that I've been using almost daily for 3 years finally died. I got it with a 3-pack sampler from CI originally. I'll miss that ligher. Fortunately, at a recent patio herf, Tripp forgot his Ronson, so I'm using that. :-)

I'm impresses with the Ronson and plan to go that route.

What other cheap torch lighters do people use?

The lighter I use is a Freebie from my local Cigar Shop. I went to buy it and was never charged. I sat down had half a cigar and thought "hmmm 20 bucks for 3 cigars AND a lighter?" So I told the manager. He said honesty has it's own rewards and that I can keep it no charge. Cool. It was like 8 bucks and has worked great for a year.

I don't think my anecdote helps but felt the need to share the good kharma.

I really like my Z-Plus insert...

Let's me use one of my Dad's old Zippo cases - and it works great. :-)

The Guangda torch is an unbeatable bargain. More fuel than Ronson and you can see the contents(no running out halfway through a herf). Sku 1455 is also a very good lighter. The angled head makes lighting a cigar a breeze. I have handed these both out to many brothers here some approaching 2 years of use. :-)

I have been using Ronson and have had horrible luck with them the last few weeks.

My first Blazer PB-207 lasted over 4 years before finally crapping out. On my second one now, just hoping for another 4+ years of success.
