Review: Good knock-off, good value - For a fraction of the price of a high-end pipe lighter brand, this is a very nice reproduction. The weight is good, it looks good. The tamper took me a few seconds to figure out -- you have to rotate it 180 degrees to remove. You don't have to worry about losing it from it falling out. It fits tightly. Tamper has small slotted screwdriver to adjust flame (I wish my other butane lighters had this). That screwdriver also serves as a pipe pick. Filling went okay, the fit is a bit tight. I twisted the can back and forth slightly to improve fit and reduce leakage during filling. This lighter puts out butane as soon as the arm is lifted. If you don't flick the striker wheel immediately, you're spewing butane everywhere. Be conscious of that. I feel like this design works better left-handed, otherwise you're flipping the lighter back and forth.
Review: Much Nicer Than Expected! - I really love the style of this lighter, but I had many qualms about whether they could produce a quality, retro lighter at such a great price. All my misgivings were put to bed when I opened the box. This is a quality piece! The machine work is great, and the fitment is superb. It has a nice weight to it, and has a VERY handy pipe tamper tucked in the bottom of the lighter. My only "negative" comment? This is a retro lighter. If you leave the arm up, it will empty the butane chamber. Or if you play with it a lot because you like it. Or if you just really like lighting it up, over an over. So, yes, that is NOT a fault of the lighter, but of the man using it! Seriously, if you or a friend enjoy classic films from the Golden Age of Hollywood, you have seen this lighter and will love this lighter. Simply put: It beckons from another era whispering "Class"

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How reliable it stays aftet some use. Any experience? Thank you**
A: It uses flint (like in a zippo) and metal to strike the smark, which pretty fool-proof. I used to use a Colibri which created an electric spark. That system doesn't work all the time. My experience is that this lighter is more simple and works every time.

**Q: For those who’ve owned this lighter for more than 6 months, how’s the durability?**
A: Mine actually works very well still , it's one of daily cigar lighters I have had no problems with it

**Q: How long does the butane last?**
A: About a week or two depends on how often you use it and how long you leave it open and light it and leave the flame burning.

**Q: Does this have an angled flame?**
A: No ! Straight up flame.

### ⭐ Looks nice, doesn't work too well.
*by A***R on January 11, 2023*

Its a neat little lighter, it works ok for the first day or two and eventually has a lot of issues. The flame is inconsistent even when its adjusted. For instance, if I lower the fuel flow to make it smaller, the next day it might be really big again, or way too small, so adjustment is constant. It eventually stops being able to hold fuel at all and it just wastes any butane you put in it and loses it over night, making it completely useless in its most basic function. Its a pretty useless paperweight. Would be super neat if it worked more reliably. The flint striker is small so it may be difficult for some to strike it reliably, wasn't an issue for me personally though. Lastly, if this matters to anyone, it is very very sensitive to any wind, you can breathe wrong and the flame goes out.
