While searching for a lighter to give as a gift this Christmas, I discovered that there are a wide range of lighters available on the internets: from a $5.00 lighter shaped like a shower head to $599 palladium-plated Dunhill lighters.

I’ll probably end up buying a Sarome lighter – they’re Japanese-made products of apparently very high quality. Here’s a size comparison of two of their all-aluminum flint+butane models – the SJ1 and SJ4, that I created using sizeasy.com.

My wiki contains some decent hi-res photos of Sarome lighters and notes on how to have them shipped to the US.
