Permanent Match is a device, similar in use to a naphta based cigarette lighter. The device consists of a rectangular shell, with a metal rod like device that screws into the shell. One end of the rod has a wick. The case is filled with lighter fuel. To use, the rod is removed and scratched against a long flint rod installed on one side of the case. The rod's wick catches fire, and resembles a match. To extinguish, the burning rod wick can be placed into the shell, where it then absorbs more fuel for the next use. The permanent match has been in production for decades.
