  • 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.

What is your favorite lighter?

My favorite to date is courtesy of Ze Germans! (see Guy Ritchies "Snatch" if you haven't already)
Tom triple flame with a cigar punch at the bottom. Reminds me of a top model Volkswagen, just feels well built and solid.
Only down side is the fuel economy :banghead: uses quite a bit of butane. However the positives far outweigh the negatives for me.
Picked it up for $40AU which is about $30US. A little steep but I couldn't help but capitalize on a package already coming from the Deutschland!

NOOOOOO!!!

Dammit I forgot I had this in my bag and it was confiscated by airport personnel... :cry:

I'll never get something from Germany again... :bigtears::bigtears:

Can you guys PM me if you know of something similar with a 10mm or larger punch attached? *SNIFF*

Bugatti CEO lighter. Thing is an absolute tank. Always lights first time. Not sure what type of mechanism they use to achieve this, but I do like it.

MSRP is $50, got mine for $16 on cbid.

Yeah, it's from the early 70's and is in remarkably clean shape. Have to use a 10x loupe to see any plating wear on the corners. Came with the original box and papers too. However, being a Dupont, it requires their crazy expensive canisters or a decent adapter so I can use regular Vector butane. Soft flame, of course, but if you can at least light your cigars indoors, it's a non-issue. The best part is that it only cost me $125 shipped. That's a third or less the price of one of these new. These fancy lighters (Dunhills and Duponts) are all over ebay and if you're careful you can pick one up for a pretty decent price (assuming they appeal to you). Or, if you don't mind buying a fake, ebay is loaded with Chinese counterfeits for under $50.

Thats one cool lighter, the leather one.

I have been using Ronsons for years, the thing i really like about them is even when its out of butane it has a reserve in case of great need if you hold it at and angle slightly to the right, or at least i believe it does.....
