Liquid lighter fuel

pnaylon

Hey guys, I just finished refurbishing my grandpa's monogrammed (we're both PLN) ronson de-light lighter (circa 1930). Is there any liquid lighter fuel that burns clean enough to light cigars? Or are wick lighters out?

Wick lighters are out... They change the taste of the cigar... It's a dirty flame... But sounds like an AWESOME lighter!

Just use it to light cedar spills, and then use those to light your cigars. That's ULTRA classy.

Ronson was supposed to have changed there formulation so that there new lighter fluid burns clean no smell or taste just what I read might be something you want to look into

also there are butain incerts for zippos if it it that style lighter there like 10 or 20 bucks and its still soft flame

I'm agreeing with it being dirty - but that does indeed sound like a sweet lighter.  Would love to see a pic.

That is a beautiful lighter! I have a pretty old Colibri that was my grandfathers. I've never lit it, but I do love to look at it and remember him. Thanks for the pics!
