Bic Bruins Lighter

The Bic Bruins Lighter is a disposable pocket lighter from Bic's familiar format, sold here with a Bruins-themed edition name. Lighters in this line are typically butane-fueled with a flint-and-spark-wheel ignition and a child-resistant thumb guard. You strike the wheel with firm downward pressure and a single flame comes up. They are sealed and not designed to be refilled, so when the fuel runs out, the lighter is done. Its everyday job is lighting cigarettes, cigars, pipes and rolling tobacco. It also works for candles, incense, camp stoves and grills. The flame height on lighters like this is usually fixed. That makes it dependable for a quick light, though a pipe or cigar smoker who wants a wind-resistant jet flame will need a different type of lighter. Several habits will extend its life. Keep it in a pocket or bag away from direct heat, such as a car dashboard in summer. Hold it upright when lighting so the fuel feeds evenly, and release the lever promptly to put the flame out. Because it's cheap and compact, it suits a glove box, tackle box or kitchen drawer as a backup, and the team-themed design makes it easy to tell apart from the plain lighters already in the house. The usual drinks guidance on serving temperature, glassware and cocktails doesn't apply to this item.
