Vintage lighter

[Senor Perfecto]

In the market for a cool vintage pocket lighter. Looking for source recommendations (online) as well as practical tips -- i.e. what's the best way to repurpose an old liquid butane lighter for cigar use, to keep the gasoline smell off my sticks?

This old Dunhill was a steal:

Thank you!

I have purchased several vintage ST Dupont ligne 1 lighters from eBay that I use on a regular basis. Be sure to get the newer of the ligne1's for reliability and you can pick one up for under a hunnert bucks if you are patient. There are many counterfeit ligne 2's out there that can be had for $25 on eBay. Do your studying to be able to identify the counterfeits from the real McCoys.

If you're interested, I recently found a Bic lighter from the mid 80's under the seat of a 1984 Ford Tempo. This thing doesn't even have child safety features on it, so you know its good. I'd be willing to sell it to you for 50 bucks, cuz I'm a great guy willing to give you the deal of a lifetime! It still has half the lighter fluid in it and its that really cool see thru blue color. You cant just go into any convenience store and find them like this anymore. Also, because it was beneath the seat, it is in excellent condition and the sun hasn't faded it one bit. If you say yes in the next 10 seconds I'll throw in the 2 loosies that I found under the seat with it.

On a more serious note, good luck with your search and I do like that Dunhill lighter you found.

On a more serious note? That was the longest joke ever

Thanks Tex.

And thanks, shake. I think.

That seems awfully cheap for a Dunhill. When I was looking, I couldn't find anything legit for under $100. (vintage I mean)
