No problem. I am glad you like it.

A lot of the sales people at Walmart don't know what these lighters are... best bet is to head to where the tobacco is sold and look around for yourself. I found them after being repeatedly told they don't carry them.

same, and if you cant find them at your local walmart. they are "always" kept in the rack next to tobacco.

When I have found them at Walmart, they only have them at the one checkout where they sell tobacco. They usually don't have a lot of them, so you have to pick through all the other lighters to find the one peg of Jetlites.

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.

Chainsaw13 · 07-27-2011, 07:14 PM

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

thechrisdotcom · 10-11-2011, 08:13 AM

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, 08:21 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, 09:27 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, 10:23 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, 10:29 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.

Jasonw560 · 10-11-2011, 12:34 PM

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

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

shilala · 10-11-2011, 01:33 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.
