Clipper (lighter)

Clipper is the brand name of a type of refillable butane lighter, designed by Enric Sardà and owned by Flamagas S.A. since 1959.
The lighters are mostly produced in Barcelona (Spain), while others are manufactured in Chennai (India) and Shanghai (China). Clipper has a wide range of lighters, gas refills and other accessories. The first Clipper lighter was made in 1972, and now the worldwide level of production is around 450 million units a year, making it the second largest lighter manufacturer in the world (behind BIC). 
The Clipper brand is a division of Flamagas S.A., which also distributes stationery and electronics for such brands as Casio and Daewoo. Flamagas S.A. is headed by Puig, and both companies are subsidiaries of the Exea Corporation.
Associations.
Some people associate the use of the Clipper lighter with roll-your-own cigarettes. This is due to its flint system which is often used by smokers to pack tobacco in roll-your-own cigarettes. It is also often used in the smoking of marijuana because the flint system doubles as a poker or "tamper", commonly used when packing joints or blunts. The lighter’s shape also allows the user to use the lighter without getting burned. Additionally, the lighters release additional butane when turned horizontal or upside down, making it easier for smokers to light bowls, bongs, and pipes. The bottom of the lighter is also designed to fit inside and pack a bowl.
