Yes Naphtha or it at least was.
I assume they haven't changed.
Essentially the same as Zippo lighters use.
That makes perfect sense. The cube acts as sort of a wick for the naptha stored inside it. If the package is damaged, then the Naptha eventually evaporates until all you have left is the "wick". This is the same problem that one has with a Zippo lighter that has been left in storage: the lighter will be dry. Never use a Zippo in a BOB or something like that.
