$4-5 isn't bad, when I looked on eBay a minute ago, all I saw was some sellers trying to get $14.95 (but it comes with FREE shipping!) for one. But I'll also admit, I didn't look too hard.

Yeah, DX packages do take time.

Yeah, and sometimes a few of them even work on arrival.

A friend here has a "smart stand" for the iphone, it was a kickstarter project, mass produced in China, they have the exact same stand on that site, minus the name printed on it, for about 1/10th the kickstarter price, looks like they are pretty fast on the ripoffs.

If anyone is interested, just saw the Power jet torch from a US seller on eBay for $5 shipped.
Search "compact 1300 c jet lighter"

If time is not an issue, DX will have the best prices.

thanks for the side by side comparison pics.


FWIW my comment was regarding the suitability and affects on a cigar and it's taste

There is a local artist that had some "art" on ebay, I believe the bidding started at $1, the shipping and handling was $800, it takes all kinds.

I think "No."
I have so many lighters that don't work, I don't think I have room for another one.
I still can't find better than a Ronson Jetlite, and they're easy to throw away.
The xikars and blazers and other more expensive ones, I insist I have to keep using them and struggling with them because I paid money for them. :)
