How's the Old Boy in your pocket?

I'm picking up the xikar version, don't have it yet though.

The Old Boy is fine in your pants pocket. Maybe a little heavy for a shirt pocket. I have had mine for a year now and if anything ever happens to it I will get a new one immediately.

These are great lighters with an even better warranty.

Had mine for 12 years. Carried it in my pocket for most of those years--never had a problem. Great lighter. Can't recommend it enough, honestly.

Do you use premium fuel in yours, or is it pretty much bulletproof?

Lava, Vector, or King is what I've mostly used. I used Colibri a long time ago.

I had to send it in for service once, maybe three years ago, cost me $12.

Love the Old Boy. Mine's around ten years old. Only had to fix it once. I leave it on the pipe stand so I can't tell about pocket feel, they are fairly hefty.

Agreed... anytime I see EvanS talking about the "Old Boy" in his pocket, I get very nervous.
