Doesn't hold a candle to an actual flame

I bought this to use while camping to light camp fire and to light my gas stove. For lighting the stove, it worked great. But for lighting a campfire it wasn't the best. I used it to light a some roasting logs and while it did the job, it took more effort than it would have with an actual flame. When the wrapper was lit by the arc, it would barely light and more often than not would extinguish itself. This criticism will hold true of any of these style of lighters and is something to take into consideration when thinking about its use. Otherwise, the lighter itself appears to be well made and came in a nice little felt box. I will likely use this lighter just to light my stove and continue to use matches for campfires.
