By Damian Sofsian
One important accessory for a smoker is a cigarette lighter. With a cigarette case, a holder and a lighter, smoking becomes a more satisfying experience. As is the case with holders and cases, the lighter is once more a predominant accessory which speaks about a personality to the world.
A cigarette lighter is basically a metal or plastic container which contains lighter fluid, like naphtha or liquid butane, under pressure. It also has a means of ignition and provision for extinguishing the flame. Common ways to extinguish the flame are by depriving a lighter of either air or fuel.
Given the simple mechanism of a lighter, there are various types, designs and forms of lighters available in the market. Cigarette lighter designs today range from the stylish and creative to downright bizarre. In fact, the various designs have prompted many smokers to start their own cigarette lighter collections.
A cigarette lighter can be designed in countless ways, like a jukebox, tennis racket, coffee machine, fire extinguisher, fire plug, beer glass, cassette, pewter pot, motorcycle, typewriter and a host of others. One of the most famous is the pistol design. Some cigarette manufacturers have their own line and range of cigarette lighters, which are famous among their smokers.
There are few major cigarette lighter manufacturing companies in the world. Owning a lighter manufactured by these companies is like owning a piece of history itself. Chief among these is the Zippo lighter, a metal lighter manufactured by the Zippo Manufacturing Company. The refillable lighter has been around for around seven decades.
These lighters are highly collectible and come in hundreds of designs. These metal lighters can be refilled with liquid lighter fluid and used indefinitely.
