Please let me know where this is available. My son lives in Irvine, California and he can receive this torch for me. I live in India and need this carmelizing blow torch very badly. I love it and it is not available here in India. If you happen to know where it is available to buy, I would very much appreciate your letting me know.

Thank you very much.
