  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

12 Ronsons for $17!

Thanks for posting!
FYI,
The fine print:
*Please note: These steel Ronson lighters, while brand new, may have gotten bumped around in transit and might contain slight scruffs, scratches, or other minor cosmetic imperfections

Hadn't noticed that. But if they work, still a good deal.

Thanks for the link and the discount code! I couldn't resist and just pulled the trigger. I can see it now: "Hey, you like my lighter? Keep it --- it's yours. Don't mention it." :stretchgr

FYI - These are not "Jet flame" lighters like the jetlites.

Ronson defines the jets and soft flames differently - follow the link at the end of this post to the archive site and click on the jetlite and the comet lighters - note the visual depiction of the flames.

These are windproof low profile blue-flame. If these are what I think they are, they are more of a cigarette lighter than a cigar lighter. If they are anything like the Colibri with similar style flame that I used to own a long time ago, they can light a cigarette in hurricane but really are kind of a pain for cigars and touchups are exceptionally difficult.

Again, there are a couple "IF"s in there - I could be completely wrong as I'm not personally familiar with this lighter, but based on the description and picture, that's what it sounds like anyway. Or it might work better for cigars than the Colibri I used to own.
