This THORENS Gen-7 Single Claw TELEFLAM lighter is a refillable soft flame fluid pipe lighter and cigar lighter crafted from solid brass, featuring automatic ignition, a Telescopic Arm mechanism with mechanical linkage, Safety Lock design, an untreated polished brass surface, and an independent serial number engraved on the bottom. It is designed for users who appreciate Swiss mechanical lighter craftsmanship, visible ignition movement, natural brass aging, and practical ignition use for pipes, cigars, or refined everyday carry.

Built around the Single Claw mechanical structure, this TELEFLAM model combines claw-driven ignition with a Telescopic Arm mechanism for a more tactile and visually engaging ignition experience. When the lid is opened, the Single Claw engages the flint wheel, creates a vivid burst of sparks, and ignites the soft flame. When the side gear on the lighter body is rotated downward by hand, the Telescopic Arm rises approximately 2.5 cm / 1 inch, positioning the soft flame more comfortably for pipe ignition, cigar ignition, and everyday flame use. Its untreated brass surface is intentionally left without electroplating, allowing oxidation marks, patina, and light hairlines to develop naturally through regular handling and use.

Key structural details:
- Refillable fluid lighter system designed for long-term use
- Automatic ignition driven by the Single Claw mechanical structure
- Telescopic Arm mechanism with mechanical linkage, suitable for pipe, cigar, and everyday ignition use
- Safety Lock screw can be tightened to help prevent accidental opening during carry
- Fuel screw with built-in spare flint storage compartment

This lighter is suitable for:
- Users looking for a mechanical pipe and cigar lighter with visible Single Claw ignition movement
- Collectors who appreciate TELEFLAM, Telescopic Arm, or Swiss mechanical lighter designs
- Pipe and cigar users who prefer a refillable soft flame fluid lighter with a raised flame position
- Everyday carry users who appreciate tactile ignition, solid brass weight, and natural brass patina
- Buyers seeking a refined gift for men, vintage mechanical lighter, or collectible lighter

It may not be ideal if:
- You require a flawless, scratch-free surface finish
- You prefer butane jet-flame or torch-style lighters
- You want a disposable or maintenance-free lighter
- You do not want natural oxidation, patina, hairlines, or handling marks to appear over time

Additional Note
Each piece is carefully hand-polished and intentionally left without electroplating. As a result, slight surface texture, fine scratches, hairlines, oxidation marks, or small handling marks may appear and should be understood as part of the brass material’s natural character rather than a defect.

Crafted from solid brass, this lighter showcases the metal’s authentic tone and character. It feels substantial in hand, develops warmth with use, and gradually forms a unique patina that reflects the way it is carried, handled, and maintained over time.

Proper refilling, flint replacement, and wick care help maintain consistent ignition performance while allowing the untreated brass surface to age naturally and evenly over time.
