Abstract: A hand-held smoker's lighter having a flame shield that defines a transverse opening in which a venturi effect increases the velocity of air flow to draw the lighter flame deep into a smoking pipe bowl for pipe lighting and a top opening through which the lighter flame projects for cigarette and cigar lighting, and further incorporating a novel inner body structure that is interfitted within a casing and includes novel flint retention and storage structure, and a novel spring bias structure which cooperates with the casing to provide enhanced positive closure of a hinged lid portion of the case.
