Abstract: A pocket cigarette lighter is provided in the form of a miniaturized automobile wherein the cigarette lighter mechanism is encased within the automobile body form and the ignition activation mechanism is operated by the manipulation of an element of the car body to produce a flame emanating from a nozzle which is recessed from the exterior of the miniature car body and thus concealed from view thereby. When the ignition activation mechanism is operated, it simultaneously operates the gas valve in the lighter mechanism to allow gas to exit from the nozzle and it also operates the ignition system to produce a spark for igniting the gas exiting the nozzle.
