i've had my colibri firebird for a couple months now and i love it. i've ran out of fuel once but that was because my wife was playing with it. refilling it was very easy.

I've had my Colibri Tri-Cutta since January and it's been terrific. Colibri's are great because if you get one that combines as a cigar punch or cutter (like the Tri-Cutta) you don't have to go spend on a cutter afterwards, like a xilar or whatever they are called.

I really enjoy the tri-cutta, three different punch sizes accomodate any cigar. I prefer a punch to a cut though. Either way, buy your lighters from mydiscountlighters at ebay, they have the best prices.

Mydiscountlighter.com on ebay is the place I have bought most of my Colibri lighters from.

I have a Colibri firebird that worked great until about a week ago. Now the flame won't stay lit unless he flame adjustment is way up. It sputters and acts like it's out of gas. It's been doing this for about a week. I've emptied the whole tank and refilled it multiple times. Anyone have any suggestions?

Use one of those "air in a can" or try and blow out any dust or lint that might have accumulated in the tip. That usuallty helps.

I use a $1.99 torch, when I use a torch.... I always try to use my Zippo

exactly what Bkcloud suggests. you can find the air in office supply stores. also make sure the tank is completely empty before refilling.

Thanks, I'll give the compressed air a try. I've got a can around the shop. . . somewhere.

I guess.

But I could never see the sense.

I use a refillable $4.99 torch lighter that my buddy gave me as a gag when he visited one of JR's shops down south. The thing has multi-colored flashing LEDs in the clear base that flash each time you light up. I've had it for TWO years now and use it daily. I DO refill with LAVA butane. That is the truth. Some butanes out there (like Ronson) are crap IMHO. The higher quality butanes make a difference.

Zippos are cool too but suck on a windy day. I use matches as well, preferably wooden since paper matches don't give you much time to light a cigar.

I use $5.00 cutters too. Double guilotine type and I have several laying around. One in the car, downstairs, upstairs, etc etc. If I lose one it's no big deal. They're cheap and they work.

In my opinion, stop wasting your money on pricey lighters and cutters. Spend the money on cigars or booze or what have you.
