lighters

[poly800rock]

[toufu]

bic?

lol they have soo many uses....

[dizzhizz]

St.Dupont can be a good option.

[Crillz]

Dunhill.

9 10

[dumadiscount]

ronson?

bic?

zippo's are the coolest =D

I'm a big BIC lighter fan, they're cheap, so you can buy like 40 at once, and they have a tendency to spread out once you start accumulating them, some on the bedtable, some on the desk, some outside hwere you smoke, some in the car, found one in the freezer - probably from the FIL.....they are fantastic little suckers, my favorites.

S. T. Dupont (and dunhill, for that matter, since they are arguably the exact same just with a different giftbox) are fantastic jewellers-quality lighters (my father has a dupont that i used tostare at so much he finally gave it to me). However, ive used it maybe a handfull of times and there is absolutely no fucking way i can use a $500 lighter to light 10 cent marlboro and not feel like a total dick. Especially if youre wearing jeans and a tshirt, maximum dick-feelings are incurred. That being said, colibri make a fantastic lighter (and they are usually around $50). I have one thats modeled to look like a zippo and is adjustable for cigar or cigarette (works great with a bowl, so you dont have to hold it down but it doesnt scorch your pot like a zippo usually does). Although the main lighter i use is a $2.00 bic/bottle opener amalgamation i bought at a Daughters show.

I always lose my lighters or they get stolen somehow so I prefer Bics. Zippos are cool as hell but they suck for lighting bongs, lol.

[goldengloves]

I own this one from colibri for cigars...It works fantastic. Torch, cutter, and punch.

I know you're asking for suggestions other than Zippos, but I have a titanium Zippo that shares the personalized aesthetic of denim and leather. From the manufacturer's description:

"Made of Grade One commercially pure solid titanium. Shot blasting the case with a fine aluminum oxide media produces a rough, rugged texture. Natural oils from using and handling the lighter will create color variations in the finish, giving each lighter a distinctive look."

i think ive only ever had one bic lighter long enough to use all of the fluid. i generally lose them, lend them, or get them stolen to get full use out of them. i couldnt buy anything more expensive for the simple fear of doing the same.

Is that the millennium one?

[mr fluffernutter]

yeah i just lost my zippo somewhere in my house

It's this one, date stamped "01". I bought it off eBay a few years back, amazed that I haven't lost it.

yeah, people steal my lighter all the time so there's no way i'd spend more than a dollar for a lighter. my sister has a insanely nice titanium butane lighter that is suppose to light up under 100 miles an hour wind. if you have the chance, check out the selection at your local outdoor shop, not as classic as Zippo, but they have some really nice lighters.

[xcoldricex]

i have a fake st. d haha. makes a pretty good *ding* too.

i bought a zippo, a week later lost it in my house, then found it under a chair in my basement (that i looked under at least 5 times) 2 months later. lame.

i only use bics, and sometimes my zippo but its out of fluid right now. cant justify a more expensive lighter cuz i lose them way too much.

[edwithoutahead]

Useless bump 'cause I don't like starting new threads.

This may be old, but I found these zippo's amazing. Engraved lighters belonging to U.S. soldiers in Vietnam. I guess there are a lot of fake ones in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) now a days, either way, these ones are cool.

i like the idea of having a cool lighter i can do that flick and light thing with...but out of sheer laziness and convenience i just roll with the disposable $5 lighters from 7-11

[fadingblue]

What about a cartier lighter? My dad used to have one, it was quite B.A.L.L.A

[broneck]

i found these quite cool

[fadingblue]

clopek i like. i should cop, i just quit smoking a week ago though

[Guest chemi]

i only smoke cigars so fuck a zippo

[fade to black2]

i prefer matches with my cigars

its probably worth it to invest a nice pair of scissor cutters though...most cutters don't cut it especially with thicker ring gauge smokes. however lately i've taken a fondness to doin it clint eastwood style, where i just bite the tip off...

[Guest chemi]

long matches are badass, but really, how often is the wind that cooperative?

[fade to black2]

ahh...the constant dilemma of cigar smoking:

- Smoke outside so other people can see how balla you are

- Keep it indoors and feel as if you're well dressed when nobody's watching Jean Touitou style

it's a question i struggle with every day.

[lil brown brother]

u still smoking them blunts?

[fade to black2]

you mean black and milds? Nah i don't smoke those any more...i smoked those throughout senior year of college to delude myself that i had "quit" smoking when in reality i was goin through like a pack of those and 2 stogies a day.

came back home got my first job and just said fuck it im back on cigarettes. i sleep much better nowadays.
