Vintage Kerosene Lighter, Solid Brass Antique Style with Silicone Sealing, Windproof, All-Metal Construction, Reusable & Easy to Maintain, Classic Collectible for Men, Camping, Daily Carry & Gift

This is a beautiful lighter. It is not flimsy at all. It feels hefty and durable. It's easy to fill up. It doesn't leak at all because of the O-ring seal it has in the bottom fill-up port. Once you fill it, it lights right up. My only issue is that it has only one half of the St Benedict medal (the side with the cross) on both sides. An actual St Benedict medal has the cross you see on the lighter but also a monk (St Benedict) on the other side with the other prayers. Regardless, I got mine blessed.

This was a very common old school design. The wick cap, half case, fully sealed elements were once essential for a quality lighter. There were no pocket rashes from carrying a leaky kerosene lighter. The cap keeps the wick wet enough to light first try and the seals keep the fuel inside more than twice as long as my Zippos. Great lighter, just like the old days.

This lighter looks and feels great. It's not too difficult to fill and lights perfectly. It's not super heavy. I lost my first one and decided to order a second one. Well worth the $

I bought this lighter for the rather cool historical cross, and the accompanying letters for a protection prayer against evil -- something I occasionally need since my girlfriend has gifts that seem to attract biologically challenged individuals. However, upon receiving it I was honestly shocked by the beauty of this lighter; as cliche as it sounds the pictures do not and cannot do it justice. And there's no way to convey in words just how much craftsmanship is evident when you see it in person, and use it yourself. I've been a Zippo fan all my life -- I had mastered the art of fire through use of a zippo long before I could strike a match -- but as much as it pains me to say this, this lighter is far superior in quality to any Zippo. The brass is much thicker, and machined more precisely. It has a brushed finish that is perfect, and the flip-up cover that seals the wick area is smooth and easy to work, yet it has no play at all and allows no leakage. Unlike a Zippo, the removable insert that one fills with fluid from the bottom doesn't just leave the cotton wicking open and exposed to leak fluid into the bottom of the outer shell, and from there into one's pocket. The insert itself has a brass bottom, but it has a small brass porthole you open to fill the lighter with fluid. That porthole, when closed, seals the lighter fluid inside with the help of a rubber o-ring. As I said, this lighter screams quality, and will make your once-favorite Zippo feel like a $ 0.69 disposable you picked up at a Dollar Store. And the price? $20, which is chump change for a lighter like this. I've spent $60 for Zippos before, and seen some that sell for $180. So IF you like the design of this lighter (let's face it, no design appeals to everyone), get it before they wise up and start charging what it's worth.

I dont normally write reviews, but as I've had my Constantine Lighter since 2022 and am about to purchase another for my EDC loadout I figured it would be worth it. This is my favorite lighter. When my smoking was at it's most peak, I only had to refill the fluid maybe once a month. Unlike Zippo it doesnt actively evaporate, so your fluid is based more on usage than how long it's been laying around. Even when having to replace the flint or any other maintenance, its way easier to maintain without loosing parts. As someone who was starting out with more robust lighters, this is good for anyone beginning to get into something better than a gasstation disposable.

I am not sure how to quantify why I prefer this to my Zippo lighter (pipe) but I simply do. The build is nice. The open top makes you think it's going to dry out but it does not anymore than my Zippo. I love the filling "hole" that has a little flip cover at the bottom. Much less messy to fill IMHO. I don't think the $ is high as it really seems likes good quality since I've had it. I use it for pipes (tobacco folks) so it's not being abused but it holds the lighter fluid well, works longer than my Zippo between fills, and it's nice looking. I really cannot knock it. If you like these sort of lighters around- I say go for it. If times are tight- well there are BIC's and matches. I am glad I bought it.

Badass lighter. Sturdy, easy to use and makes a great gift for a smoker in his 50.

🫶Happy to have this product, feels like solid piece of brass👍far better than conventional zippo lighters 🫡

Perfect

Producto de gran calidad y clase. Muy buenos acabados y sencillamente práctico para su uso.

Absolutely love this lighter build quality is awesome and it should hold the fluid alot longer than a zippo. I'll do another update after a year or so.
