Lighterclub Deutschland

I think that's because thorens most reliable early semi automatic lighters ever. The quality of this lighters is much better then same class lighters like rk,lr,hw and even nassau. Try disassemble and fix any imperator lighter for example hw, you can easy scratch the push button and broke your finger. HW and nassau made of much more thin metall and they wick tubes quite often broken especially in nassau lighters. How about rust inside hw and they "world famous" broken springs? For me thorens more solid, more maintainable, more comforatable for my pocket (that's because it more streamlined) try early angular pm or rk with 1.2 cm wide - feels like a little brick in your pocket (and of course, this eye-catching design of single claw).
Do not get me wrong - I like all this lighters but ..
p.s. and of course there are obvious aspect - if someone ready buy this lighters for such a price so probably it deserve it.
