Review on πŸ”₯ Copper Lighter Holder - Vintage Mason Forge Metal Bic Lighter Case - Fits Large Full Size Bic J6 Lighter - 2 Pack and 4 Pack (2) by Grace Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits perfect looks great feels clean will buy again

I have used several different lighter cases some of which are still in use years later. I assume they will be good for many years to come. They fit like a glove (the sticker literally pushed off the first bic I uploaded, perfect. I removed the stickers myself afterwards). No lighter scratches, no rattling, a perfect friction clasp that didn't snap down to the metal. The top of the lighter slid into the body. Easily removed by pushing out of a hole in the floor with a thin tool or a lever under the throttle with a wrench, screwdriver blade or similar tool, but doesn't pop out when I push up with my finger or in my pocket, it's perfect. Incredibly light, especially if you're used to a stainless steel case. Decent polish, not sure if it's varnished or not but as I will be patinating everyday objects I don't care. I'm not very fond of logos on objects, but this logo is small, unobtrusive in color and placement, and chic and familiar (like a penny, which obviously goes with the whole copper theme), and somehow I still don't mind the fact that it's on both sides is. The lid goes to the bottom of the lighter, which is also rare. I use it to smoke my pipe and appreciate the lack of contact between the plastic and the embers when using the lighter as a tamper. Heat does not discolour the metal and wipes off easily afterwards. The listing lists copper alloys, but the unfinished interior looks like or close to pure copper. I will probably buy more and give some of them a chemical patina, depending on the alloy this can affect the coloring. I intend to ask the manufacturer about the composition and will update any new information as it becomes available. TLDR: Perfect fit and finish on a regular full size Bic disposable lighter. My only regret is that I bought 2 packs instead of 4. The only improvement I would suggest is the logo imprint on the underside of the lid - it will last forever and stand out with age.
