True but it has to be a Bic. Nothing else is even remotely worthy.

True, true. Bics have that oval cross section that feels right in your hand. And they have their own sound too -- a nice crisp scritch that the others can't match.

BTW, a Bic can be used to open a bottle cap once you've got the technique down.

Those cheap rectangular clear lighters should be outlawed for no other reason than they’re a rip off and a waste of resources.

They crap out within a couple of days and got me to wondering how much butane is wasted in the billions that must be thrown away every year.

It would do, but the rectangular shape of the Feudor's bottom, made it so much easier.

And a Zippo lighter can be used as a knuckle-duster, if you got the technique down...

This technique actually works a treat!
