Many lighters, especially cigar and pipe lighters, are fitted with various accessories designed to make lighting up a more convenient experience. These lighters are often fairly expensive.
Butane torch lighters and liquid fuel filled lighters are both available with attachments aimed toward particular types of smokers. To make certain that the lighter and the attachments remain in good condition, there must be some attention paid to how the lighter is stored when it's not used for a long while. There are accessories that can protect lighters from damage during storage which are very affordable and widely-available.
Cigar lighters designed specifically to be used in outdoor situations are generally very tough. They have less-complex finishes and accents and many are made with the same sort of resilient chrome finish as are most fluid-filled refillable lighters. These lighters, when taken into the great outdoors, need only the most basic care. Make certain that they're not exposed to moisture. While they'll still light when wet, in most cases, exposure to the elements can cause them to corrode. Make certain they're kept away from dirt and debris, as well, so that there isn't a risk of fouling the ignition or jet mechanisms.
Keeping the lighter in a locked box is not a bad idea, but make certain that any accessories such as cigar cutters are closed when doing so. One does not want to reach for their lighter and find that the razor-sharp cutting implement is wide open. It can leave a nasty wound! The blade will also tend to dull if not properly-protected.
When storing a lighter long term, keep in mind that it needs to be in an environment as free as possible from moisture and other sources of corrosion. Refillable lighters should be kept away from solvents and other harsh chemicals, as well. Too many high quality lighters spend the majority of their time in toolboxes or fishing tackle boxes where they're exposed to potentially damaging elements. Liquid-fueled lighters will tend to dry out after a period of time. Before venturing anywhere, make certain that the reservoir is full enough to ensure reliable lighting for the duration of one's journey whether it's inside or outdoors.
