Compare the Clipper Classic Large Jet Flame and the Classic Large Blister CP11 2 Pack on flame type, refillability, and pack format to choose the right lighter.
Quick answer
Choose the Clipper Classic Large Jet Flame if you need a wind-resistant, adjustable jet flame for cigars or outdoor use. Choose the Classic Large Blister CP11 2 Pack if you prefer a traditional refillable flint lighter and want two lighters in one pack.
Flame type and ignition: jet vs flint
The Jet Flame model uses an electric ignition and produces a wind-resistant jet flame that you can adjust. That makes it more suitable for breezy conditions or for lighting a cigar evenly. The Blister CP11 uses a traditional flint ignition and refillable gas, so it behaves like a standard Clipper lighter. Neither is inherently better; the choice depends on whether you value wind resistance and adjustable flame over the familiar feel of a flint wheel.
Refillability and everyday maintenance
Both lighters are refillable with gas, but they differ in how you maintain them. The Jet Flame is electric ignition and refillable, so you avoid replacing flints but still need to refill gas. The Blister CP11 is described as truly refillable gas plus flint, meaning you will eventually replace the flint. If you dislike dealing with flints, the Jet Flame has an edge; if you prefer a purely mechanical ignition that does not rely on a battery or electric component, the CP11 is the simpler choice.
Pack format and value
The Blister CP11 comes as a 2 pack blister with multi print designs, so you get two lighters and a spare without buying separately. The Jet Flame is sold as a single lighter in assorted colors, with a catalog price of USD 23.76 compared with a comparison price of USD 36.00. The CP11 2 pack is priced at USD 8.82 against a comparison price of USD 14.00. If upfront cost per lighter matters, the CP11 pack is the lower-cost way to try the Classic Large shape, while the Jet Flame costs more but adds wind resistance and an adjustable flame.
Size and handling
Both lighters share the same Classic Large dimensions: 3 inches by 0.65 inches. That means the choice is not about grip or pocketability but about flame type, ignition, and pack size. The CP11’s multi print designs are purely cosmetic, while the Jet Flame’s assorted colors are also cosmetic. Neither model’s catalog facts specify flame height or burn time, so if those details matter to you, treat them as unknown rather than assuming performance.
Key trade-offs
- Wind resistance vs familiar feel: The Jet Flame offers a wind-resistant, adjustable flame but uses electric ignition. The CP11 uses a standard flint wheel and is not described as wind-resistant. Pick the Jet Flame for breezy outdoor settings; pick the CP11 for the familiar feel of a classic flint lighter. If wind is a frequent problem, the Jet Flame is the practical choice.
- Single vs 2 pack: The Jet Flame is one lighter; the CP11 gives you two lighters in a blister pack. If you want a spare or to split a pack, the CP11 is more convenient. If you only need one lighter and want jet performance, the Jet Flame is the focused buy. Count how many lighters you actually need before choosing the pack.
- Upfront cost vs features: The CP11 2 pack is the lower-cost entry to the Classic Large shape. The Jet Flame costs more but adds wind resistance and an adjustable flame. Neither is a budget vs premium judgement; they serve different priorities. Decide whether wind resistance is worth the higher price for your use.
