Just to add to this...I usually have to ask the cashier in the tobacco isle for them because they keep them with the cartons at the Walmart I go to.

Local Wal-Mart now has them back, with the Zippo print on the back as others posted. Same price, $2.97. I picked up only one, but there were 10 or so.

Found a Walgreens by me that did have them, but are currently out. $5/ea though. Still not a bad deal.

I went into a local Wal Mart last night and they didn't have any. They didn't even have butane fuel there.

I should check out a Walgreens or something, doubt they'll have them. I have no luck when I'm looking for the simplest things.

None of the walmarts here sell them, I found an out of the way CVS or maybe it is a RiteAid that has them. Nobody else or any other branches here have them.

I wonder if the "other" kind of smoke shops would have them. Ya know, like those stores with a crappy selection of some cigars and then everything else is cigs, 420 crap, and beer and snacks. Those places usually have a crap load of useless accessories. Though a Ronson isn't useless, haha.

I doubt it, most B&Ms and smoke shops seem to never have heard of them. At least the ones i have talked to. It is a shame because they could make a killing on them.

thechrisdotcom · 10-11-2011, 07:21 AM

Well most of the smoke shops around here, mainly the Asian ran ones, have tons of Zippos. And since Ronson is owned by Zippo now, I would assume maybe they'd have em? I dunno.

Devanmc · 10-11-2011, 08:27 AM

i can get them at the walmart by me. Might be able to pick them up for people

most wal-marts that ive been to carry them.

Jasonw560 · 10-11-2011, 09:23 AM

My regional grocery chain carries them for about $6 each. Last couple of times I went to Walgreens they were out. CVS didn't even have a tag for them.

Been to 3 Wally Worlds, and none have them.

irratebass · 10-11-2011, 09:29 AM

Only one I picked up was at Walgreens for $5, I sent it to WittyUserName(Adam) for a trade...it was the last one they had.

Never seen them at Walmart

Keep looking. They had them local by me for years, then when Zippo bought out Ronson they dissappeared for 8-10 months. Now all of a sudden their back.

I will continue to look, but now that I know Walgreens carry them, no worries.

Jasonw560 · 10-11-2011, 11:34 AM

If anyone wants one, I will be willing to pick one up if you can't find them.

shilala · 10-11-2011, 12:33 PM

I've found these a grand total of once in the last five years. That's traveling all over a good part of PA and OH. When I did find them they were in a checkout line at the Walmart in PA where I lived.
The SuperWally here has the tobacco at a single cash register. I'll check that option. CVS and Walgreen's here, nothing. They're either a regional thing or they hide them real well, or I suck at hunting them up.

IIRC, I think they are by sales district, even possibly by store (manager's or store buyer's discretion I think), so not all of the Wal-Mart stores carry them.

I remember when I was looking for these. The Ronson's are not regional at all. It's kinda like the candy that's really hard to find, but sometimes you see it on the shelf. Sometime or another every walmart will get a small shipment on Jet Lites. I was told by Walmart store managers at both stores that they know Walmart carries them, but for some reason they don't get shipments but every couple months.

shilala · 10-11-2011, 02:30 PM

Cool your jets, Devan. I have plenty. There's at least three in the pie safe drawer that aren't opened yet, that'll keep me for a good long while. I just continue to look for them so I can gather them up for the guys here.

I think you're right on the money, Adam. Odd how a little item like that can elude a whole area as large as I've covered, but I'm sure the number crunchers have good reason.
I'll put Lisa on this. I'm sure she'll run into them somewhere along the way. She works all over and shops as she goes. It'll keep her off the streets.

thechrisdotcom · 10-11-2011, 02:58 PM

yay! Local Walgreens had 2 left. I bought both. They were 4.99 a piece. I can settle for that.
