do any drugstore chains still sell lighter fluid? *I asked at CVS

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

Walmart carries it near the tobacco section. *Usually it's by one
register, down real low at floor level.


I always got it at the grocery store. Making a trip there today and
will look to see if things related to smoking have changed that much.
Of course the old type lighters using that stuff are probably getting
pretty rare as the butane ones are so much more convenient.

I would also suspect that barbecue starter fluid is probably the same
stuff.
