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.

I used to use matches.

About 5 years ago I bought a Colibri Trifecta. I have used it ever since, without any problems. A couple of months ago I was in China-Mart and found a Colibri "Firebird" in the camping section. For $12 I bought one. I've used it on nearly a dozen sticks so far without any problems.

I carry the Firebird everyday because I don't care if it gets all scratched up with the change in my pockets or if I lose it. I carry the Trifecta when I know I'll be smoking a cigar that day or if it's really windy out.

I really like jet flame butane lighters. YMMV.

I went ahead and got the silver Xikar. Thanks for all the replies. As a followup, it works great, and looks cool too. A friend impresser.

I picked up the Colibri Trident for christmas and I love it. Colibri has done me wrong in the past but this lighter has just about every feature you could ask for and is very reliable.

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!
