My experience with lighters while on vacation.

I'll take a Ronson over all other lighters. i went out and bought them for all my fellow smokers. In the northeast you can find them in Rite-aid. I had one drop out of my pocket on to the ground. It stayed there through the winter and into the spring. I noticed it one day and picked it up and tried it and it lit on the first try. They don't last forever and some are better than others but you still can't beat them for the price and reliability.

Experienced another Senior moment by ordering a few Ronson 'windlites', before reading the item description. Now know the difference between the 'windlite' and 'jetlite', it's a fuel vs butane thing. O'well, hopefully will learn from the experience, heck they come with 1 yr. warranty. Looks like I will be giving few token lighters away. Wonder if the troops could use them, include them with some stogies, it's been 40 plus yrs. since I been on a miliary base not sure lighter fluid is still available. Have to check it out.

Sometimes lighter fluid goes by the name of Naptha if that's worth anything.

I just remember that from reading the bottle of fluid I used to use with my Zippos back in the day.
