Clipper

The first Clipper lighter was made in 1972, and now the worldwide production level is about 450 million units per year, making it the second largest lighter manufacturer in the world.

Some people associate the use of the Clipper lighter with home-made cigarettes. This is due to the flint system often used by smokers to compress tobacco into hand-rolled cigarettes. It is also often used when smoking marijuana because the flint system also acts as a poker or "tamper". Due to the shape of the lighter, the user can also use the lighter without getting burnt. In addition, the lighters release extra butane when turned horizontally or upside down, making it easier for smokers to light bowls, bongs and pipes.
