IM CoronaOld Boy Chromium Lighter

I got to say when I ordered this, I had wondered if I had just blown a bunch of money for no good reason...that thought ended the moment I used it for the first time. Though I will say I still think it is a bit pricey...I do not regret buying it. The craftsmanship is fantastic, with high attention to detail. Everything works as intended and does so very well. Loading the flint is a breeze, filling it up is easy, it lights the first strike every time indoors, and adjusting the flame can be done with a short thumbnail. All of this is extremely important in the use of the lighter, but I am also big on the feel of an item. I want it to feel good in the hand, I want it to feel solid, substantial, like it's going to last for a long time, and I am happy to say this lighter checks all the boxes. Plus the crank back arm style is definitely unique in a world full of Bics and Zippos.

Always wanted a Dunhill lighter. Found this and debated buying it as it appeared to be a knockoff. Read the reviews and took a chance. Absolutely gorgeous and extremely well-built. I wouldn’t settle for a Dunhill now with what they cost. This is a much better lighter.

I love the lighter. It works great and has a heavy sturdy feel to it. One concern is that the thin metal strip holding the cap down seems flimsy. It is too expensive for what it is though. A lighter at the 100 dollar range seems ridiculous to me. If you compare it with the DuPont lighter it’s a steal though. If you can afford it, then I highly recommend this lighter.

This is my first IM Corona old boy. I have another IM Corona I have had over 6 years, both every well made. The old boy feels good in your hand, strikes every time. I really like this lighter. Great fit and finish. As always Amazon with GREAT shipping right on time. Thank you

I've had this over a year now, and it still works great. I've never before had any butane lighter last this long without significant issues.

I haven't started using it yet. But I will leave it better review on it after I use it for a while. This remind me of the old lighter's how they lasted a long time. That's how this feels. lites amazing.

This is a nice lighter. It heavy, shiny and generally feels like a nice bit of bling. The action is fun (vaguely steampunk).I only smoke outdoors and therefore have to contend with wind on occasion. Sadly, there is utterly no wind shielding around the gas nipple and it blows out quite easily even when you crank the flame up. A Bic disposable was my fallback (much better in the wind).It also quit working after a few weeks. It behaved as tho the valve were sticking (flipping open and closed several times sometimes got it working again) until it eventually would produce no flame at all. The seller sent me a form letter suggesting that I was not using gas of sufficient purity; but I had been using the recommended Colibri Premium Butane all along.$130 for a lighter ought to produce something pretty flawless. There's a $18 copy of the thing here on Amazon.

Nice lighter! Crome too. I just admire the flint mechanism on this. Compared to the other electric fire ignition systems, the Flintstones ignight the fire, similar to zippy lighters, but this one uses butane instead of fluid.this allows the ignightion system to last much longer than the electronic type.tamper is a really nice luxury that I will be using for my pipes.I can light my tobacco pipes,cigarettes, and pot pipes with this for along time. I just see this versatile lighter as long lasting, and pleasant on the eyes.
