    Need a lighter reccomendation

    OK so here is the deal. I am in the market for an inexpensive jet lighter. I have probably 3-5 cigars a month right now(this will probably pick up in the summer once it it above 45 out at night). Here is the catch. I have Amazon gift cards that I would like to use to buy it. I found a couple in the $8-$10 range that I was thinking about picking up but I thought that I would leave it up to the experts here and see what they come up with. I would like to keep the price <$20.

    Also the wife says I need to pick up and ashtray for outside as she doesn't like the ashes all over the deck. I can't imagine that there are huge differences in where I am going to put my cigar ash.

    I've seen two big-name industry insiders fire up their Cubans with a Bic lighter.

    If it's good enough for them...

    The Ronson Jetlite is the standard recommendation for a cheap jet lighter. You can pick up a couple and stay in your budget.

    If you are looking for reliability under $20 I would go with Vector KGM, Jetline, Vertigo, or Firebird.

    I have a couple firebirds and they have worked great for me. I would not hesitate to buy another. I have some torch lighters from CI and if you'll shoot me your addy I'll send you one on me. That should fall well within your budget. Lol

    + RG for you(if I had any to give). I think that I might take you up on that.

    Very generous.

    +1 for the Ronson JetLite. You can pick one up at Walmart for about $4 and it's one of the best lighters that I've owned.

    Ditto on the Ronsons. I bought a pack of 4 on amazon for about $20 awhile back.

    I also have a Vertigo triple jet lighter that I picked up at my B&M for $9 that holds a ton of fuel, but the triple jet is a bit much, honestly. I prefer my single jets.

    I have this ashtray on my back porch and like it very much.

    It is called the Vertigo Cyclone....I have sold arount 700 of these things and received maybe 2 back in returns. They work and are very reliable.
