having tried a number of lighters, from mini bics to a bunch of different Colibri, so far i find the peanut the easiest and most reliable of the bunch.
for $10 its worth trying, and if you find you prefer something else, it still makes a great back-up in a survival kit.
in fact, i just bought two more peanuts in bright orange for my wife who spends her days alone deep in the wilderness, horseback pushing cattle.
custom orange (and other colors) versions over at CPF can be found
