do any drugstore chains still sell lighter fluid? *I asked at CVS
yesterday and they recommended a tobacconist's, but I'm guessing that's
a waste of time, as wouldn't someone who likes good cigars/pipe tobacco
be using wood matches rather than a Zippo?

I'd really just like to have some for cleaning small stains in
upholstery, but it seems quite hard to find. *And I'm guessing that it
can't be mail ordered

they changed the formulation to "reduce odor & lessen possible skin
irritation", at least that's the party line, who knows? maybe
the EPA or air pollution considerations


you could try various naphthas, which are the "catch all name" for a
general group of different flammable liquid mixtures of hydrocarbons

lighter ones (lower molecular weight / density) are probably what you
want....lighter fluids being towards the lighter end and hopefully
with the fewest impurities
