    Maybe in the US. In colombia everyone uses clippers or the cheapos on the right. I hardly ever see Bics excepts for the really small ones.

    Clipper lighters are superior to bics since you can refill the gas and replace the spark on the clippers.

      Don’t forget the built in tamper, it’s the best thing about them.

      On the other hand their flints are absolute crap. They pretty much never last a full tank, while a bic flint lasts long after it’s out of gas.

      The metal torch clipper is pretty awesome though.
