Design-Conscious Cloud Lighters

Tsubota Pearl's Blue Sky Lighter is Hand-Lacquered in Japan

Tsubota Pearl's Sky Blue Lighter is a dreamlike smoking accessory that is available via lifestyle retailer Tetra. Specializing in high end and aesthetically pleasing smoking accessories and cannabis lifestyle products -- from ashtrays and rolling papers to pipes and more -- the retailer marries form with function, with each product doubling as an artistic design piece.

The Blue Sky lighter by Tsubota Pearl is made in Japan and features a hand-lacquering technique that the brand is known for. The lighter boasts a dreamlike cloud print and is made from polycarbonate casing with a steel interior and cotton wick. Each product is sold without lighter fluid and is compatible with Zippo style fluid.

With ongoing cannabis legalization across North America, consumers are spending more on smoking accessories that are not only functional but also design-forward.
