refillable butane lighters with removable flint.

What Clipper means at the Terp Bros counter.
Clipper is the lighter Queens shoppers actually want in their pocket — the refillable, flint-on-the-bottom workhorse that lives next to the register at both Terp Bros Astoria and Ozone Park. Pick up an eighth, a pre-roll pack, or a glass piece, and there is a good chance a Clipper is going home with it. Astoria customers grabbing flower on a Ditmars run pair it with rolling papers; Ozone Park shoppers loading up on Cross Bay Blvd treat it as a default counter add-on. The reason it stuck around in NY cannabis culture is practical: removable flint doubles as a tamper, the rounded body sits clean in a jacket pocket, and the butane chamber refills instead of hitting the trash after one session. It is not a cannabis product — it is the accessory legal NY dispensaries stock because every regular asks for one eventually. Originally founded by Flamagas S.A. in Barcelona in 1972, Clipper landed on the Terp Bros counter for the same reason it lands on counters across Queens: it works.
Terp Bros stocks Clipper because the people walking out with NY OCM-tested flower need a lighter that will not die before the bag does. Queens weather punishes cheap lighters — humid summers, wind off the East River, winter pockets full of MetroCards — so the refillable build matters. A Clipper paired with a Dank By Definition eighth or a Doobie Labs pre-roll is the most common counter combo at both stores. Budtenders also like that the removable flint gives smokers a built-in poker for joints, no extra tool needed. It is the lighter we hand out alongside flower, not a brand we pitch, and the refill-and-keep economics line up with how often regulars come back through the door.
Watch any regular at the Astoria counter on a Ditmars Saturday: flower goes in the bag, they look up, and they ask for a Clipper without breaking eye contact. That muscle memory — eighth plus Clipper plus papers — is the most repeated transaction in the store, and it plays out the same way on Cross Bay Blvd. The lighter is the punctuation mark at the end of every flower purchase Queens makes legally.
Out of Spain, on the Queens shelf today.
Clipper originated in 1972 in Spain. Like every brand on our wall, it earned its spot only after passing the New York OCM compliance lab and our buyer’s shelf review. What lands on Ditmars and Cross Bay is the same formulation the brand makes everywhere — held to the same independent test we hold our Hudson Valley growers to.
What folks ask about Clipper.
Q.01Is Clipper sold at Terp Bros NYC?
Yes. Clipper lighters are stocked at the counter at both Terp Bros Astoria (36-10 Ditmars Blvd) and Terp Bros Ozone Park (135-26 Cross Bay Blvd). They sit in the accessories rack alongside papers, grinders, and glass. They are not a cannabis product, so they do not require NY OCM lab testing, but they are sold as the standard ignition pair for any flower or pre-roll purchase. Pick one up at checkout for a few dollars and refill it instead of tossing it. Most Queens regulars carry the same Clipper for months at a time.
Q.02What does Clipper make that lives at Terp Bros?
Clipper makes refillable butane lighters with a removable flint, available in solid colors, printed designs, and seasonal collabs. Terp Bros stocks the classic full-size Clipper as a counter accessory at both Astoria and Ozone Park. The lighter is the only Clipper category on our shelf — the parent brand also makes rolling trays and other accessories, but the lighter is what Queens shoppers ask for by name when they grab flower. It pairs naturally with rolling papers, glass pieces, and pre-roll packs in the same transaction.
Q.03Why is Clipper better than a Bic for cannabis?
Two reasons Queens regulars cite at the counter. First, Clipper is refillable — pop in butane and it lives for years, which matches the pace of regular flower buys at a legal NY dispensary. Second, the flint slides out and becomes a tamper or joint poker, so smokers do not need to dig around for a pen or paperclip mid-session. Bic still has its fans for raw reliability, but Clipper is the lighter that pairs cleanly with rolling papers and pre-rolls on the same receipt, and the form factor sits flatter in a jacket pocket.
Q.04Where in Queens can I get a Clipper at a legal dispensary?
Both Terp Bros locations stock Clipper at the register: 36-10 Ditmars Blvd in Astoria (steps from the Astoria-Ditmars N/W stop) and 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd in Ozone Park (off the A train). Pick one up as a counter add-on with any flower, pre-roll, or accessory purchase. Originally a Barcelona-founded brand from 1972 produced by Flamagas S.A., Clipper is the default lighter we hand out alongside legal NY cannabis — refillable, flint-on-the-bottom, second-largest lighter brand in the world by unit volume.
