Neither it would seem. Ronson defines the jets and soft flames differently - follow the link at the end of this post to the archive site and click on the jetlite and the comet lighters - note the visual depiction of the flames.

Windproof low profile blue-flame. If these are what I think they are, they are more of a cigarette lighter than a cigar lighter. If they are anything like the Colibri with similar style flame that I used to own a long time ago, they can light a cigarette in hurricane but really are kind of a pain for cigars and touchups are exceptionally difficult.

Again, there are a couple "IF"s in there - I could be completely wrong as I'm not personally familiar with this lighter, but based on the description and picture, that's what it sounds like anyway. Or it might work better for cigars than the Colibri I used to own.

So like the ones with the little coil that heats up and produces a flame?

It's funny; I was just reading everyone's reviews on the Jetlites, when i saw this thread. I jumped on it too. Who knows what we'll get?

Looking at the description on Shnoop, it says [Ronson Euro Lite] in the little description. I wonder if these are not made for the USDM?

That's what it kind of sounds like. Again, I'm not 100% certain though, just going off of the manufacturers description and photos.

It does say "perfect for pipe and cigars" so I imagine that it's not a car type cigarette lighter- altho it might not be perfect for cigars and/or pipes!
