Flameless Cigar lighter

[horrido]

Ummm five charges for 99 bucks I will stick with the flame thrower or matches. Cheaper.

I saw this for $45 ( even more on Amazon.co.uk)

Looked nice

Then I read the reviews... and bought the identical lighter on Ebay, without the Cohiba, name for £5.
What does it say about premium brands when they use their status/reputation to extract huge margin on promotional goods? Seems to me they are milking their historical value, and perhaps  have moved beyond earning the premium price.

By the way - with this kind of lighter it seems the important thing is to use "near zero" Butane - so it doesn't clog up with residue.

It will be great to read some reviews written by CG members when these become available.
