Question
In this post: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Cigars-2143/Stupid-butane-refill-pricing.htm    Bill Finck references a study on butane fuel quality, where can this study be found? Where can quality specs for butane lighter fuel be found? Thank you!

Answer
Kevin,

A couple of years ago a Ronson salesman was in my office and had the study I referred to. I don't have a copy, and unfortunately I no longer buy fuel from Ronson and can't get a copy. I have heard that Zippo may be acquiring Ronson in the next couple of months, and I bet if you requested this information from Zippo they would provide it to you.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
Bill

Expertise

I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.

Experience

In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
