Long story short.
Bought a cheap lighter about a month ago at the best B&M around.
2 weeks later went in with the step-son to get a couple cigars. The owner starts a conversation with the son and then slips him a " south of the border" cigar to take back to base with him. Just as a thank you for his service.
Tonight I went in to pick up couple odds and ends. He was working on a lighter and saying how people could break lighters so easily.
I mentioned that mine wasn't working and asked to see it. Mind you this lighter had no warranty and was a cheapy.
He took it apart, saw the problem. I was browsing and not paying attention really.
He said "I will make them replace this one even if there is no warranty because I know this isn't very old".
I thought he exchanged parts with a new one. When I got home and sat down to light a bowl, BRAND NEW lighter.
No wonder I pay a little more per tin and burn some gas to support him.
If you have a good local B&M - go spend a couple bucks next week!
I spent $90 tonight and needed maybe $30 worth.
