Taking Torch Lighter on Airlines: Colibri Tranzpack

[Deke]

I wish I trusted them enough to not take a lighter...sadly, I don't have much faith in the .gov Nonetheless, a good post, sir.

I just bought one at my destination last time I traveled.

That's why I pack a $15 lighter. Just in case. But so far, so good.

By the way, I have (and love) a IM Corona Double Corona soft flame lighter. You are allowed to carry that on a plane on your person. First two times I took it, TSA guy had me open it and light it to verify soft flame. Last three trips, with it in the small tray going through X-ray, they haven't even questioned it. Perhaps TSA is getting better at recognizing torch vs soft flame...

Nice, I love a soft flame. I actually ordered that same lighter on Amazon and the box was stolen off my front porch! They refunded me and I ended up picking up something else locally. I'd still like to get a Double Corona at some point...looks like a fantastic lighter.

Do it. I am using it whenever possible. What I like it (1) it works flawlessly, (2) it looks great, (3) you can adjust the flame without a screwdriver, and (4) it works from a flint. No piezoelectric thingie to wear out. I found the flints at lightersdirect.com for much less than at Amazon......

IM Corona plans to discontinue their famous Double Corona line of lighters. Upon hearing of this news (passed on to us by their Primary US Distributor), I was sort of taken back a bit. The Double Corona lighter is one of the finest soft flame lighters ever introduced to the market. Each hand made of high quality seals and brass internals. Nicely finished with some of the most durable and exotic materials known to man.

So, I asked why? The answer was simple, one gentleman (yup 1 person! Incredible!) was responsible for brazing the fuel tanks and he has decided to pursue his next career, retirement! Congratulations!

There is still some good news, IM Corona has introduced this year the Laurel line, it is gorgeous and nicely refined. We can also bet that Corona will continue to innovate and bring new quality products to the market.

That's quite a way to run a fairly large corporation.
