This lighter is remarkable in that it is rechargeable and comprises a filling device enabling simultaneous filling of the reserve supply and of the gas reservoir, the filling device comprising two serially disposed valves, opening of the valve situated between the reserve supply of gas and the other valve being operated either by the opening of this other valve or by an operating element, this other valve then remaining closed.
