Collectable Lighters

A collectible lighter doesn't need to be vintage to be in a tobacciana collection. Some collectors simply like to accumulate fire starters that they find interesting, those one-of-a-kind items you don't find at your local store. There are various designs, sizes, brands, and fuel sources available to choose from, so feel free to mix and match as you grow your stock. Light a smoke or start a BBQ.

For over 40 years, smokers and non-smokers have been flicking their Bic, which is no doubt the most popular brand of lighters on the market because of its reliability and durability. To make its products more attractive, Bic uses unique designs, colourful pictures, and bold prints.

Most of the jet lighters on the market feature an adjustable airflow, a gas control valve, and a safety kill switch. It uses butane to make the flame. Pick a colour you like, and start a new sub-category in your collection.

For those that don't like the idea of having an open flame, an electric lighter is an ideal tool. It powers itself via rechargeable battery and it does not require gas or a fuel source, which makes it environmentally friendly. It works by using intense heat to light a cigarette, and since there is no flame, it will work in any weather. Charge it via a USB cord.

While you may consider your lighters as a collection, that doesn't mean it has to just sit on a shelf. Feel free to use it. Switch up which one you use from day to day or from week to week. People will come to know you as the "lighter guy" or "lighter gal" because your friends never know what type or design you will pull out.
