    While I agree with Chewie, in a pinch I have lit a cigar with a bic. Nothing wrong with a cheap lighting solution but I think in the long run quality is what I look for when lighting up a $10 piece of yard waste.

    Hey, we have all had to use a Bic once or twice. I'm just disagreeing with the notion that cheap lighters only need cheap butane.

    I've seen Ronson's run for YEARS using good Butane.

    Yes, but if you can get the lighter itself for under $5, it would be less expensive in the long run to just replace the lighter when it gets clogged up than pay for the better butane.

    A Ronson JetLite is $4.50 at WM, typically. A good can of butane is $6-7. So, you're into your lighter for $11.50 at most.

    Sure, you can pump it full of junk butane, and keep replacing it, but to say that is more cost effective than doing it right the first time, and buying better quality butane is laughable.

    I've got a Blazer and an S.T. DuPont. I use good fuel in both.

    While out trolling for cuvry redheads, but what did I spy with my little eye, but a cache of Zippo premium butane refill canisters selling for $1.39. Hotcha Mamma, it's true what that say "that you create your own luck!" These canisters were prices .80 less than the single can I bought a few days back ($2.19). I purchased one can and will be taking my previous purchase back. What can I say, I'm a value shopper. Hell, I remember returning a blonde for a brunette when she order a more expensive appetizer once, best decision I ever made.
