Coop and I (Ben) drove down to New Orleans form North Carolina for the PCA trade show and, while on the way, we stopped by The Cigar Shop in Biloxi, MS for a visit.  As most of you know, this is my first home shop. My home away from home.  During our visit, a particular light caught my eye.  In the glass case was a slim lighter with a striking copper and gunmetal color scheme that I thought looked really great. I asked, Rob, one of the tobacconist there if he could bring it out of the case to let me check it out.  Soon as he put it in my hand, it never made it back in the case. That light was the Rocky Patel H. E. lighter.  The light was very sturdily built with a good heft.  Its a single flame lighter with a stronger pinpoint flame.  I don't know the type or name of the jet flame, but I've seen it before in other higher end lighters.  It has a blue ring inside and the flame has a flower shape when ignited at the bottom.  You've probably seen these as well.  For more details on what I think about the lighter, check out the video. Thanks for watching.
