    If ya like butane, then I've heard these work well. I'm not a big butane lighter fan because it seems that I have to fill them too often which is a pain in the ass because you have to wait five minutes for the fluid to "stabalize" before you can use the lighter. I'm too impatient, I wanna light my cigar NOW and I think Zippos are easier to refill in their conventional configuration. I get a heck of a lot of mileage out of a bottle of regular ole lighter fluid. I keep a small one in the glove box in case my Zippo runs out. Ya oughta see me driving down the road, smoking a cigar AND refilling my Zippo at the same time

    LMAO It's even MORE of a challenge when I'm driving my old BMW which is a five speed Left knee on the wheel, can't use the clutch so the only alternative is to "power shift" (no clutch).

    If you like Zippos but don't like using lighter fluid units with cigars (I don't), get a Thunderbird lighter from Vector KGM. These lighters look and operate just like Zippos; however, they use butane and produce a soft flame like a Zippo. They also use the same flint system. They are guaranteed for life and come in a variety of finishes. I've been using one for a while and love the thing. It works flawlessly each and every time and the flame can be adjusted to the perfect height for firing up a cigar. Best of all, the lighter only costs $15.00. Take it as a suggestion.
