Obligatory European recommendation for a clipper lighter; the unparalleled joint smoking lighter.
You can refill them, you can replace the flint, you can take the strike wheel out and use it as a pokey.
The base of the lighter is a perfect tamper for a bowl, iirc it works better to light bongs also (less likely to burn your fingers compared to a bic)
There are constantly new designs for them, you can get metal sleeves for them.
Me and a friend have got a thing going where 8 years ago he accidentally pocketed one that I'd found, and it's been in common use since, obviously having had the flint replaced and the gas refilled.
I'm American and even I know Clipper is the king. Nice explanation of all the little perks.
That being said, we get a ton of knockoffs here, and a lot of times they won't actually refill. Then again, Bics can't refill anyway.
Tangentially related, OCB papers are also the best and we also get a lot of knockoffs of those.
We have those in Canada too.
