XIKAR Trezo Lighter
XIKAR is proud to introduce their new Trezo lighter, the first and only in-line triple jet flame lighter available today. Its unique design places two outer jet flames at an eight degree angle inwards, concentrating the heat source at the perfect point above the flames. This means that no matter the size of your cigar or lighting condition, you will have a good clean light. First, flip up the top cap and expose the three protected ignition jets. With your thumb, pull down the center trigger to fire up this new lighting system and then enjoy your puros! A large fuel window reminds you to refill the oversize tank and a large fuel adjustment wheel ensures you always have the exact flame size desired. Available with in gold, black, chrome and gunmetal accents.

Crown7 Electronic Cigarette: lighting-up legally?
Scottsdale, Arizona-based entrepreneur Ron MacDonald has developed and launched Crown7 an electric cigarette that replicates the act of smoking using a nicotine cartridge, a micro-chip and a water vapor mist.
This is an item which hopes to have a significant impact on smokers and non-smokers alike across the country. With Crown7, smokers can now legally light up in bars, restaurants and public places, which have faced prohibitions the world over. Crown7 looks and acts like a cigarette without the harmful side-effects of second-hand smoke and offending others. The cigarette costs US$99.95 and the cartridges come in four strengths - high, medium, low and no doses of nicotine - so they can be used as quit-smoking aids.
Crown7 is following the steps of similar electronic nicotine devices that have become popular in Europe and Asia.

Gum N Asbag Butt in Your Pocket
Throughout the smoking world, various governments are trying to cut-down on tobacco by attacking it at the periphery: adding taxes to raise the price, cutting down on where one can indulge, and even adding penalties for things such as littering discarded cigarette butts. A new Dutch company has found a solution to some of this smoker prohibition - the Gum N Asbag, a small colorful pocket accessory that can extinguish and store used cigarette butts (as well as gum - as per the name).
