Ronson Jet something

[One Lonely Smoker]

I had read with great interest recently a thread on lighters, and one thing kept coming up over and over again...A 3 dollar lighter beats all comers on reliablility. People were saying, 'just go into Wal-$$rt and get a Ronson Jetlite, they are 3 bucks and mine has never stopped working. To which people all stated, "I went into wallyworld and there were none there, or there was a rack for them but it was all empty. TRUE on both accounts. One Wal-$$rt had none, not even a space for em, but I went to the big city of the 'nando, MS today and bam, I saw my dream girl from across the room. TWO left. And now I know why people always say they are GONE. Because I took both to the register, bammo, 6 bucks for two lighters I might never destroy. If there had been 3 I would have bought 3. 4 ?...I might have left one for the next guy. So I AM the A-hole everybody always curses when they look to find these. But I saw alot of folks with these at a herf recently, and they are a REALLY nice LOOKING, WEIGHTY, great litl lighter that looks like a bic and a zippo had a baby. And I already know they work great.

DO NOT BUY THESE, I want them all.

WOW! NICE!

I have two cigar lighters that were gifts in past years. One runs about $100 today and the other I'm not so sure but it's not cheap. Both don't hold a candle to one of these! I prefer to light with matches however if it's a real windy night I will take the Ronson every time. It was sent to me as part of a contest winnings here.

Awesome lighter.

He shoots, he scores and scores and scores and..............



They also have these at my local CVS and Kerr Drug stores for 3.49 if the big store is sold out. Still a great price.

Any cheap online sources?
I'll buy a 1/2 dozen

That is really expensive IMHO...if you cannot find them locally I suppose it would seem like a bargain. My local wally world had them for $3.

[mugen910]

Al at my store they are usualy near the baseball cards with the other lighters and close to the checkout.

I have used the Ronson JetLite for several years. I got tired of spending my cigar money on expensive lighters that just do not last. I just picked 6 JetLites at Rite-Aid for under $5 ea. I have given several to my buddies when their good expensive lighters take a dump.

That was the reason I switched. I got tired of spending money on Prometheus and Colibri lighters that sucked.

My Ronsons never let me down.

They are usually located where you buy the cigaretts and other baccy products. As I understand it, class 1 (smaller stores) have just now started to stock them.
