Newbie introducing myself

[Alexw33]

Hi Wayne and welcome to the forum, it sounds like you’ve definitely got the bug so all I can do is wish you luck

Connie A is one of my favourite cigars, no idea why a flavour profile that tastes like chewing honey coated wood works but it just sings to me.

For lighters if you are looking for a cheap interim (but perfectly useable solution) look on eBay at a pack of Torjet lighters. You can normally pick up a five pack for less than a quid each. I always have some in because they work perfect and I’ve no reason to worry if the break or I lose them. After that it’s up to you whether to buy something more expensive as more of a keepsake item, I’ve been tempted to buy a DuPont for some time but the tight Yorkshireman in me has held back so far.

Hi Alexw33
Thank you for your input and yes the bug has certainly hit me and my pocket.
I do indeed blame the "Connie A" as my downfall and with regards to a lighter I have just bought a cheap Nobor 4 jet lighter off the bay. It looks like it will do the trick for the time being.
I agree totally with you regarding Dupont accessories. Oh my word they are so sexy. Gorgeous bits of kit with unfortunately a price tag to match. Maybe one day hey!
Lovely to speak with you and stay safe,
Wayne
