Permanent Match, any opinions?

My father had one when I was a kid (still does but it is pretty worn out). Found out the still make them, although I can't find a simple black one like his, they are all either stanless or brass. Anyone used one or have an opinion I would like to hear it.

It is not the fall that kills you. It is the realization that "yes, you did something that stupid."

Anyone, anyone?

Was his plastic or metal. I found this site has multiple colors, but they are in plastic.

Thanks edwood. His had a plastic body. I think most of the metal ones I have seen were just a thin layer over plastic, for looks.

I used to have one of those ... probably still do, around here somewhere. It doesn't hold much lighter fluid. It might go "up to" a month on a fill if you screw the cap on tight and don't ever use it. When I was using one to light a pipe with it I filled it every morning and it didn't always last the day.
