Try Aubuchon Hardware Store in your area. They list them in their website.

I've got to go hunting. Nice score!

Well Well well, I finally found one!

I travel extensively for business and I have been about 400 miles and have finally found one.

I know this... Walmart in some areas may have them but in the Md, Northern Va, Pa area they don't seem to carry them.

I have found the CVS carries them but most are out of stock.

But....... Big Lots also carries them for $3 (they also tend to be out of stock) and I was able to find one and it just happened to be the gun metal looking one and I am a very happy person!

Hope that helps some of you with shopping choices.

Congratulations on a great hunt with a trophy to take home!

Check out DealExtreme.com for cheap torch lighters. I own one, it was around $3 shipped, and it really does work beautifully. Refills nicely, and actually lasts quite a while on a single fill. Oh, and it's the same size as a bic. Sweet deal if you don't mind supporting Hong Kong a bit (which I'm pretty sure the Ronsons do too). I'd post a link, but I lack the post counts still. I think the SKU was 1456 for those interested.

I had one of those a long time ago....before I even smoked...

Awesome! I hate my lighter, always goes out...ugh!@

You do know those are refillable? What are you going to do with 12+ lighters? lol.

Also, you have to REALLY look. I was able to find these in the check out of 1 register at one of the two walmarts local to me. I haven't checked the other yet. Everywhere else you would think to find stuff like that (fishing / camping, auto, etc) they aren't there.

The auto section did have a refillable butane torch (not pocket sized exactly) but it looked kinda hooky.

Thanks to this thread I went looking at my local Wally World and low and behold they had two. I left one for the next guy. Thanks for the recommendations. Worked well on a Don Douglas Bucanero this afternoon.
