Its key benefit is its ability to light easily even in strong winds, thanks to its robust flint wheel ignition and stormproof design.

FAQs
What type of fuel does this lighter use?
This is a petrol lighter and requires standard petrol lighter fluid. Do not use butane or any other type of fuel.
How often do I need to refill the lighter?
The frequency of refilling depends on usage and storage conditions. Typically, it may need refilling every few days to a week with regular use, or if stored in warm conditions where fuel can evaporate.
Can I use this lighter in heavy rain?
While designed to be stormproof against wind, it is not waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain may extinguish the flame and require drying before relighting.
How do I replace the flint?
Unscrew the retaining screw at the bottom of the mechanism, remove the old flint, insert a new one, and screw the retaining screw back in securely.
Is the Welsh feathers design etched or painted on?
The design is crafted from English pewter, suggesting it is an applied metal design rather than painted.
What is the finish of the lighter?
The lighter has a matte black finish.
Troubleshooting
Lighter will not ignite
Ensure the lighter is properly filled with petrol fluid. Check that the flint is present and has not been worn down completely. Clean any debris from around the flint wheel and wick.
Weak flame or sputtering
The wick may need to be trimmed or replaced, or the lighter may need refilling. Ensure the fuel saturation is adequate.
Difficulty lighting in wind
Ensure the wind guard is functioning correctly and not obstructed. Practice proper technique by holding the lighter steady and allowing the flame to catch the wick fully.
Lighter fluid evaporates quickly
Ensure the lid closes securely and the base is screwed on tightly after refilling. Store the lighter away from direct sunlight and heat when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Open the lighter case.
- Unscrew the base of the lighter mechanism.
- Carefully fill the cotton wick with a high-quality petrol lighter fluid. Do not overfill.
- Screw the base back on securely.
- Allow the fluid to saturate the wick for a few minutes.
- Close the case and flick the flint wheel to ignite. The first few flick attempts may require more effort as the wick fully saturates.
Compatibility:
- This lighter is designed to be used with standard petrol lighter fluid only. Do not use butane or other fuel types.
Care:
- Refilling: Refill as needed when the flame becomes weak or the lighter fails to ignite. Store petrol fluid in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Use a cotton swab lightly dampened with water to clean around the flint wheel and wick if necessary, ensuring it is completely dry before refilling or use.
- Flint Replacement: When the flint wears down, replace it with a new one. Unscrew the flint spring, remove the old flint, insert the new flint, and re-insert the spring. Ensure the new flint is seated correctly.
