A couple of things I didn't realize when purchasing this lighter. 1st. The image, which is the initials is just that, an image. I thought it was going to be engraved not a sticker. 2nd. Smaller than I thought it would be. It is a pretty lighter but I feel slighted for what I paid, for these 2 reasons.
