         4 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a top substrate, bottom substrate, and a generally cylindrical body therebetween, the body further defining a wick through hole and a neck through hole in the top substrate. 
     
     
         5 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 4 , wherein the first passage and the second passage are in fluid communication with a neck through hole. 
     
     
         6 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 5 , wherein the wick is at least partially disposed within the wick through hole. 
     
     
         7 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 6 , wherein the spill-free refillable torch container is constructed and arranged such that fluid may be wicked up the wick. 
     
     
         8 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 6 , wherein the neck, the spout, the first passage, and the second passage are constructed and arranged to receive fluid therein to fill the cavity and provide fluid to the wick. 
     
     
         9 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 6 , wherein the spill-free refillable torch container is constructed and arranged to facilitate refilling of the cavity without needing to move the wick. 
     
     
         10 . A spill-free refillable torch container, comprising:
 a generally cylindrical body defining a cavity therein;   a circular flange attached to the body and being constructed and arranged to facilitate positioning of the spill-free refillable torch container within an object;   a neck defining a first passage in fluid communication with the cavity; and   a wick at least partially disposed within the cavity and at least partially exposed outside of the cavity.   
     
     
         11 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 10 , wherein the body, neck, and spot comprise metal. 
     
     
         12 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 10 , wherein the body comprises a top substrate and a bottom substrate, the body further defining a wick through hole and a neck through hole in the top substrate. 
     
     
         13 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 12 , wherein the first passage is in fluid communication with a neck through hole. 
     
     
         14 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 13 , wherein the wick is at least partially disposed within the wick through hole. 
     
     
         15 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 14 , wherein the spill-free refillable torch container is constructed and arranged such that fluid may be wicked up the wick. 
     
     
         16 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 15 , wherein the neck and the first passage are constructed and arranged to receive fluid therein to fill the cavity and provide fluid to the wick. 
     
     
         17 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 16 , wherein the spill-free refillable torch container is constructed and arranged to facilitate refilling of the cavity without needing to move the wick. 
     
     
         18 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 16 , wherein the spill-free refillable torch container is constructed and arranged to facilitate refilling of the cavity without needing to remove a cap or a lid. 
     
     
         19 . A spill-free refillable torch container, comprising:
 a generally cylindrical body defining a cavity therein, the body comprising a top substrate, bottom substrate, and a generally cylindrical body therebetween, the body further defining a wick through hole and a neck through hole in the top substrate;   a circular flange attached to the body and being constructed and arranged to facilitate positioning of the spill-free refillable torch container within an object;   a neck defining a first passage in fluid communication with the cavity, the first passage being in fluid communication with the neck through hole;   a spout defining a second passage in fluid communication with the first passage; and   a wick at least partially disposed within the cavity and at least partially exposed outside of the cavity, the wick being disposed within the wick through hole.   
     
     
         20 . A spill-free refillable torch container as in  claim 19 , wherein the generally cylindrical body, the circular flange, the neck, and the spout comprise metal.
