Lighters?

Make sure you get some corona flints. They are softer, and therefore easier on the mechanism.
Any triple refined or better fuel will do. Although, I once saw a thread somewhere where some guy did a test, taking two brand new Old Boys and filling one with premium fuel, the other with Ronson, and using them both. I don't know the final outcome, but three years later they were both still going strong.
Far as I am concerned, the Old Boy is the best soft flame made. I've always thought they should make a cigar edition, with a punch instead of a tamper.

I exclusively use Vector fuel in all of my lighters and I was hoping that cupojoes would send extra flint, they don't. I'll just have to buy more.
These lighters are replicas of old Dunhill and Savinelli lighters, though I've heard they've lost nothing in the translation.

Just picked up one of these bad boys from eBay a few days ago.
Should be here at the beginning of the week.
$2.99 for the lighter and $12 for shipping
okemyeye Either way, it's a tough-looking torch and I'll be feeling like Chuck Norris everytime I fire up a smoke...

Prometheus lighter aren't the most hardy.
That is weird I just wrote Stinky about the stirrup falling off of mine during my recent move, said to send it to him and he would send me a new one..
no charge.
Hmmm...
It all depends on what's important to you and what your budget is. Both are pricey, and there are lighters on the market that work at least as well, are at least as dependable, and hold more fuel. E.g. the Blazer PB-207 or the version that I have (CG-001), which is the PB-207 inside a slightly different case. But they are plastic and don't have the same cache or curb appeal.
OTOH, the Ronsons that you can get for about $4 from Ron at cigarsolutions or Wal-mart work pretty damned well and look like the cost about 10 times what they do.
It all comes down to how much you want to spend and what you want in return.
