lighter recommendations

I have a Colibri Trinidad and Colibri Oscar that both work very well . If you get a Colibri make sure you drain it totally before refilling and follow all the directions that come with it . I've had the Trinidad for about 3 years . I just got the Oscar about a month ago . I bought a Nibo Space , didn't last 6 months($20.00) , tried draining it , blowing it out with compressed air to no avail . I bought both my Colibri's on Ebay , payed a little more than half price , sellers name was "Hapashman" I believe . When getting anything on Ebay though always check the vendor's feedback .

the new xikar lighter....very nice price and great warranty......

Xikar Excutive Lighters
The Executive lighter was developed for smokers seeking high quality, functionality and sophistication in every facet of their smoking. By targeting and solving problems of other lighters, XIKAR has truly broken the mold with affordability in mind by introducing the Executive.

This design places the trigger along the body of the lighter so one’s finger no longer needs to be perilously close to the flame (goodbye burned fingertips!) The oversized adjustment wheel ensures a quick flame adjustment for any occasion. A simple push on the side of the lighter simultaneously opens the lid and ignites a powerful windproof flame perfect for cigars, cigarettes or that campfire that needs a little encouragement.

All Executive lighters come with a protective sheath.

Sugg retail $25.99

Rocky's Price $20.99

Bigpoppa, I checked out that site and I didn't read anything about a warranty. What kind of warranty does the Xikar carry? I was thinking about getting that one since I already have the Xikar cutter and cigar case. From your experience are they any good or have you heard any complaints?

Their ebay store has good deals because they have lots where you can bid from 1 dollar up.

I'd go with Colibri too, haven't had a problem except when it got stolen cause somebody liked it too much. I'd go with one that has a combination guillotine and punch, or the tri-cutta, that's what I have because I punch all my cigars (except for torps). Coibri's with built-in cutters or punches are on average 40 bucks, definitely use high end colibri lighter fluid.

That's where I bought my Colibri Legacy from. I had bought a Zippo from him a while back. Top-notch seller.

I love my Colibri!
