When I first got into cigars I bought two "decent" lighters. Neither one lasted over a month. Then one day I was wanting a cigar on the drive home and had no fire. Stopped into a gas station and bought a cheap $3.00 torch. Still have it over a year later. Ive dropped it countless times, left it outside in the rain and still always works. Sometimes you dont have to spend alot to get alot. Then again if youre going for fancy Id just look around and price compare.
