Ah. Yea ok live in us so don't know how shit one pound if I am correct. But one pound lighters are. At least over here I have never encountered a cheapo that bad. If you find bics go with them for a cheapo.

Haven't had a sig in a while. Then again I picked them up usually for the fifteen minute break at work. Still prefer a good cigar or a pipe. Though finding navy flake for my pipe round here is all but impossible.

Even with cheap lighters, you get what you pay for. My wife bought me a 75¢ lighter because it looked cool... I got maybe half a days use out of it
