11. Bic Mini Lighters – Assorted Colours

When all you need is a small strip of fire you go with Bic, aka the disposable lighter that probably sparked your first cigarette or cigar.

There’s no mystery on where to buy this pocket lighter, it’s available pretty much everywhere both in stores and online.

12. Djeep Lighter

Also known as the “other” disposable lighter, Djeep contrasts from Bic in ways like better flame control, a stronger flame, a broader body and the tendency not to burn your skin through the overheating of metal. That said, some people think Bic is a better fit in the hand and that the Djeep proportions are slightly awkward–of course, those same people have at least one Bic-related burn scar on their fingers so maybe awkward proportions aren’t such a bad thing after all.
