Lighters & torches
by Champ
The Champ Goldbar Lighter is a refillable butane lighter shaped and finished to look like a miniature gold bar. It sits heavy in the hand — noticeably weightier than a disposable Bic — and the textured surface gives it a satisfying grip. One click of the top-mounted ignition button and you get a clean, steady flame for joints, bowls, candles, or whatever else needs lighting. Slip it back in your pocket and try not to feel like you've just made a withdrawal from the Bank of Amsterdam.

Pair the Goldbar Lighter with a decent rolling tray and some RAW King Size Slim papers — your smoking setup deserves the same level of polish. A small butane canister keeps this lighter topped up for months.
Here's the thing about cheap disposable lighters: they vanish. They get pocketed at parties, they run dry mid-session, or they just stop sparking after a week in your jacket. The Champ Goldbar Lighter solves the disappearing-lighter problem in the most straightforward way possible — nobody forgets whose lighter looks like a gold bar. We've had customers tell us they haven't lost a lighter since buying one. That alone is worth the price of admission.
Because it's refillable, you're not chucking plastic into the bin every fortnight. A standard butane canister fills it up in seconds through the valve on the base, and you're good for weeks of regular use. The push-button mechanism is simple and reliable — no flint wheel to wear down, no child-lock to fight with when your thumb's cold. Click, flame, done.
The honest limitation? It's a novelty lighter, not a torch. The flame is a standard soft flame — brilliant for joints, fine for bowls, but you won't be dabbing with it. If you need a jet flame for concentrates or a windproof lighter for outdoor sessions, look at a Champ torch lighter instead. For everything else, the Goldbar does the job with a bit of flair.
We've been stocking lighters since the shop opened in 1999, and the novelty ones always spark the same question: "Yeah, but does it actually work?" With the Champ Goldbar — yes. The mechanism is the same reliable push-button system Champ uses across their range. The gold finish picks up fingerprints fairly quickly, so give it a wipe with your shirt now and then if you want to keep it looking fresh out of the vault. It weighs roughly 45–50 grams, which is about double a standard disposable — you can feel it in your pocket, and that's actually a good thing. Harder to forget, harder to lose.
One more thing: this lighter gets comments. Every single time someone pulls it out at a session, somebody asks about it. If you're the kind of person who enjoys a bit of theatre with their smoke, the Goldbar delivers. If you prefer stealth, grab a matte black clipper and call it a day.
Yes. There's a standard butane refill valve on the base. Turn the lighter upside down, press a butane canister nozzle into the valve for 3–5 seconds, and you're sorted. One fill lasts weeks with regular use.
This model doesn't have a visible flame adjustment dial. The flame height is pre-set at a standard level that works well for joints, bowls, and general lighting. It's a soft flame, not a jet torch.
No — it's a metallic gold-coloured finish over a metal body. It looks the part and feels solid, but you won't be melting it down for profit any time soon.
Absolutely. The soft flame works well for cornering bowls. Hold it at a slight angle so the flame draws into the herb. For deep bowls, you might want a longer-reach lighter, but for standard glass pieces the Goldbar is fine.
It's roughly double the weight of a standard Bic — around 45–50 grams. You notice it in your hand and in your pocket, which actually makes it harder to misplace.
With heavy daily use, you'll see some wear on the edges after a few months. It picks up fingerprints easily too. A quick wipe keeps it looking sharp. Think of it as developing character.
