[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 498355, member: 1211"] I really, [i]really[/i] miss the old round, chromed IMCO lighter. The next, somewhat elliptical iteration was ok, but the round ones were it. The 3 for $1 lighters at the dollar store work more than adequately for me now. I don't like disposable things. That's my only hangup with them, but the fact that they seem to work until they're empty and aren't failing for some reason makes that less irritating. When I worked at a tobacconist, we offered a lighter repair service (sent them out). I handle a lot of Dupont, Dunhill, Cartier, and various expensive lighters. I get it. Nice hunks of metal. We had to fix too many of them for that kind of cash to make sense to me. But when you have a $10K Rolex on your wrist, $500 handmade shoes on your feet etc, I can see why a $.33 plastic lighter isn't attractive. [/QUOTE]
