Regarding lighter.
Ronson jetlight is good, but you can also get a old zippo on Ebay for 3-4 bucks and put in a $10 Blazer z-plus jet insert. Nothin like the "snap-cring" sound of a zippo opening up.
My first review – so I may be a little off in my descriptions. Hopefully, this is a decent beginner’s review. (apologies to Garlicbreath for stealing his review format!)

I just got one last week.
It's great -- although a bit tight, had trouble pulling the insert back out again for adjustment. Put a dab of wd40 on the sides and it's fine now.
Nothing like that well known "click-ching" sound of flipping open a Zippo -- it just adds to the whole "ritual" of...
I love red wines and I drink good wines fairly often. I am a beginner when it comes to cigars -- I only "discovered" them about two months ago.

3 oz excellent Gin (I like Tanqueray 10)
1 oz excellent Vodka (Belvedere)
.5 oz Lillet Blanc
1-2 tsp olive juice (to taste)
Put all in a shaker with ice and shake for 1 minute.
Garnish with 3 olives.

If you like Black Seal, another good one to try is Screech Rum from Newfoundland. (Yes, Newfoundland.)
It's a bit rougher than Black Seal, but not in a bad way. And it goes very well with cigars.
