What do YOU want in a lighter?

[ashauler]

First off, hello all! I'm new to this forum and this is my first post but i've been a creeper for a while.

Ok so here is the story. I am currently an intern for the government (DoD) and going to school (mechanical engineering) I have been looking to start my own business, specifically in cigar accesories. I am just doing some grassroots research and seeing what the cigar smokers would like in their lighter.

So:

How much are you willing to pay for a quality lighter?
What features would you like to see in a lighter?
What materials do you prefer?
What shape/size/texture are appealing?

and also please feel free to leave any other comments about what you would like to see in a lighter.

P.S. I can't wait to start posting in the whole forum :)

Welcome.......I use a bic.

I want a torch that fires EVERY TIME I pull the trigger!

I have a nice Colibri, I think I got a decent one, but I've heard horror stories. I'll never purchase another.
I hear Blazer makes a great torch, and you can get one that's clear, (forget the model number), so you always know how much fuel you have.
For the price, you can't beat Nibbo / US Tiger, I have the Gear, (triple-torch), and a Space 7, (dual torch). Both of these can be had for under 10 bucks on eBay, and they have performed flawlessly for me! You can fill them with crap ronson fuel, they make short work of lighting the largest cigars, and they always fire.
