At First I was a Little suspicious because the package came from a Chinese delivery side. But the Product came quick in nice packaging and looks and feels good. On the website it seemed like the lighter lights when opened when it’s actually lighting by a manual flint and steel. But bothers me for less then a second because you can still light it by opening you just have to keep your finger on the steel. Feels like old school zippo tricks. My first Thorens, clearly not my last.
