Just saw this one go up for auction. Cool but definitely out of my price range

Quote

Electroplated mounts, four Lucite panels, each deeply engraved in reverse intaglio technique and hand-painted to create a three-dimensional effect, the front panel depicts three fish among water plants and rocks, the back panel depicts a single large orange fish among water plants and rocks; the side panels depict water plants and rocks

These three boxes came in a few days ago as gifts to me.

It is a beautiful set, frankly speaking. But I may not use them. I love to use my cheap torches (only 12 usd). And when I go out, I take my dog lighter with me.

@Elpresidente I just found your Xmas present

[BuzzArd]

For me?  As an antique lover I desperately want to find (for a reasonable price that is) an Eldred Jump Spark Model 12.  I know where one is, but haven’t been able to talk the bar into selling it.  Something about it is just super cool in my opinion

This looks like the lighter Karla didn't return to Smiley.

70's?

Love the built in clock.

I'm a bit of a lighter hoarder - had a brilliant Cartier lighter in the day that was lost/stolen/dropped whilst inebriated

I use my Ligne 2 (Rose Gold) for in the house and the Le Grand when out. The Edward Sahakian travel lighter is also tremendous and used daily for my dog walks....

The Le Grand is the dream lighter (or the reality lighter in this case) but beware, it uses a lot of fuel!

I've got a Cartier lighter that was my Grandmothers, it's a little hard to light, I hardly use it.

My dream would probably be the Dupont double soft flame - forget the name.
I have a fake Dupont, it's nice. 
As silly as I am with money - I couldn't justify $1,000 (or more) on a lighter.

I have a Maxijet, though. It's nice - never fails to light.
However, I find myself using the Xikar, Colibri Julius, and the generic eBay/Aliexpress "Cohiba" branded lighters more. 
Sure they might not light on the first attempt, but they do the job just as well in terms of actually getting the cigar lit.

That has got to be one huge table top lighter to hold 3L of lighter fluid....

I had my dream lighter...
Alligator skin Ronson, bought at a flea market in St Petersburg, FLA in the late summer of 1989. Left it in a diner in Sarasota at 3am and was handed it back a few days later by the waitress. Lost it again on another night out and that was it. Ten days max I had that lighter and I still miss it.
Looked something like this if anyone picked it up...

Pigskin, not alligator but I found a Ronson Senator in a junk shop last weekend and just had to get it

Got one of my Dream Table lighters this year. Its a c1980s ST Dupont. Serviced and works great. I love it. I use it almost daily.

Next dream lighter on the list is a Dunhill Unique Table Lighter. Id love to own one someday.
