Pricey, may'be if I one day smoke inside. The torch is so great for smoking outside.

Yup. Nibo makes some nice-looking, cheap knock-off's of the traditional roller lighters that look like high end Dupont's, Dunhills and Cartier's. I have one and it works great. In fact, I have been thinking about getting another. If you can't find them at your favorite e-tailers, just go to ebay and search for Nibos under the cigar lighter part of tobacciana.

I don't know what you mean by soft...

The best Butane flame lighter in the world is the Corona Old Boy, imo.

Of course, it's a pipe lighter, so it has a tamper instead of a cutter. But it does something a lot of lighter don't do--produce flame when you need it. Every time. For years, and years, and years. They are as reliable as a Zippo, without the stink.

It also has old fashioned style, and a large capacity.

I have the pewter pipe shapes one. They didn't have the Sillems back then, but man are they beautiful!

For four bucks you can't go wrong I guess
I bought 2 from him, and they work great. Most cheap torches that I've gotten have lasted about a day (ok, maybe a week). These are still working perfect 2 months later.

Of course I don't use their fuel. I use Vector.

A soft flame is the kind of flame that all lighters made until torches were invented. Think of the flame from a Bic or Zippo.

Definitely a great lighter, but it's a bit bulky for my pocket, and at $30-$40 I'd cry a lot more if I lost it than if I lost my $4 Ronson. :eyebrow:
