What do YOU want in a lighter?

[here'sjohnny]

Welcome from Central Ohio.



Often i light up with cedar from cigar boxes, the last longer than a match. i have a zippo also if i am not smoking at home, haven't noticed a taste on the cigars yet, but i am still a newb. if i were to buy a lighter i'd want one that lights every time, fuel gauge (great idea whoever posted that), actually windproof (not just claims to be), and durable as crap. I'd probably pay $25 or maybe 30.

Thank you very much for all of the great responses!

Right now I am currently sketching up some designs taking serious considerations from all that have responded to the thread. Again thank you. I will be posting the designs up in the next few days, so be looking for them!

P.S. Ironically, I prefer matches and cedar to lighters as well Then again, I do own a Calibri and it is the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen.

$3 Ronson butane lighter from Walmart. Every bit as good as my Xikar. If I lose it no big deal. I don't think an expensive lighter makes a cigar taste any better.
