Tsubota Pearl Hard Edge Latitude Lighter - Clear

To fill:

• Pull the inner lighter out from the polycarbonate case.
• Turn it over.
• Soak the cotton throughly with lighter fluid.*
• Place the inner lighter back into the polycarbonate case.
• Spark the lighter 5-10 times.  
• Once the lighter sparks a flame, the lighter should light consistently after that.
• If sparking 5-10 times does not create a flame, wait one minute and soak the cotton with fluid for another five seconds or so. Repeat sparking the lighter until the first flame appears. 

Generally, getting a lighter going the first time requires more work because the cotton is dry and needs to be evenly and fully soaked with lighter fluid. Each subsequent refill should be a quicker and smoother process.

*Use high quality lighter fluid like Ronsonol or Zippo.

Established in 1952 as a metal and leather working company, Tsubota Pearl makes all their components in specialized workshops in and around the Asakusa area of Tokyo.  Their distinguished, minimalistic, and unique lighters have become a staple of Japanese craftsmanship.
