I have a peanut lighter, recently acquired, (actually a split pea, now that I think about it) and I like it very much. I haven't had to use it for real, but I have tested it a few times, and it lights right up. It rides as EDC on my key ring everywhere I go. Just tried it out right now, and it lit right up first time. If anything, it is getting better. No tendency to come apart while on the key ring and it is pretty tough.
