                      RONSON CORPORATION PRESIDENT'S LETTER
                                 TO SHAREHOLDERS

Somerset, N.J., February 27, 2006 - Ronson Corporation (NASDAQ SmallCap RONC).
Attached is a copy of the President's Letter to Shareholders dated February 27,
2006.

Dear Shareholder:

Four months ago, in October 2005, I reported to you on the "Outlook" for Ronson
Corporation.  This letter updates that "Outlook".  Since then there have been
positive developments that I wish to share with you.

Earnings for the fourth quarter and for the year 2005 will be issued shortly.
Last year's fourth quarter will be profitable, but not sufficient to offset the
one-time nonrecurring loss of $591,000 on the sale in September 2005 of Ronson
Aviation Inc.'s (RAI's) charter business and Citation II Jet.  This nonrecurring
loss at RAI was included in the Company's second and third quarter earnings
statements.

In regard to 2006, the Company's sales and earnings should significantly
improve. We expect a large positive swing in sales and profits in the first half
of 2006, in contrast to the first half loss in 2005 that was largely
attributable to the one-time nonrecurring loss at RAI.

A major undertaking this year at RAI will be the construction of a new 20,000
sq. ft. hangar to house larger jet aircraft.  This will develop additional
hangar rentals to our present hangar space rentals.  Moreover, it should
increase sales of jet fuel by hangaring more aircraft.  Architectural and
engineering plans for the new facility are complete.  Construction should start
in the ensuing months, with completion the latter part of this year or early
next year.

Ronson Consumer Products Corporation ("RCPC") is expected to record sizable
sales increases in 2006 resulting from the acceptance and increased sales of our
new consumer products.  This is supported by additional distribution of the new
Ronson Tech Torch and Aero Torch in the United States and Canada to certain
large retail chains.  In addition, new sales are materializing in the Peoples
Republic of China.

Since December 2005, the new Jet-Lite butane torch lighter has been accepted and
is being sold by Wal-Mart in its 2,850 stores throughout the country.  During
the last 60 days, Ace Hardware accepted the Tech Torch and Aero Torch for
warehousing and making these products available for sale to its 4,800 nationwide
stores.

Also, CVS, a national retail chain of 5,100 stores, has ordered our Jet-Lite and
our Comet refillable butane lighter (at a disposable lighter price), for
shipments starting in the second quarter of 2006.

Drug chains, similar to CVS, have also shown interest in these new products.
The China market has more than shown interest in our fuels, Ronsonol and
Multi-Fill butane gas.  Orders from China were recently received for shipments
in 2006.

Last October I advised you that we are developing a Ronson butane candle.  The
likelihood is this new product will be available for sale prior to this year's
Christmas season.  Like the new torches, the candle will use our widely
distributed butane fuels.  The catalyst that is driving the improvements in
sales and earnings during 2006 are the new products and new distribution.

Just last week, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 5% common stock
dividend on the Company's outstanding common stock.  This 5% common stock
dividend is payable to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2006, and is
payable on April 17, 2006.  This is the fifth consecutive yearly common stock
dividend.

Our short and long-term plans are working; however, as stated last October, we
remain mindful of adverse factors, whether they be increased costs associated
with the rising price of oil used in certain Ronson products, or litigation
related to a dissident shareholder causing disruptive and time-consuming
distractions.

                                             Sincerely,

                                             /s/ Louis V. Aronson II

                                             Louis V. Aronson II
                                             President & CEO
