What do YOU want in a lighter?

[RougueWarrior]

As far as lighters go I am not willing to pay a lot. I think that butane lighters are the way to go for quality but I am a fan of just striking two matches to light up. I know that in stores that I have been in the majority of lighters were either Zippo or butane torches.

pretty much everything the blue rhino triple torch has. good ergonomics, adjustable flame, and a cigar punch on the bottom. My only qualm is the triple flame may be just a bit overkill.

welcome to the forum!

i would pay up to $50 for a real good lighter.
butane, torch, reliable.
i prefer bigger lighters that you can grip with your whole hand and don't have to claw with 3 fingers.
a nice feature would be a fuel gage so i'll know when my lighter is about to need a refill instead of getting the pleasant surprise of a fluttering flame after i've settled down for a long smoke.
