A good torch lighter

[Namerifrats]

Anybody reccomend a good torch lighter or where to find one for a good price? What are some decent brands? I have a small convenience store type, it was $6 but not sure how long one like that would last. Do many of you use torch lighters? I see them used alot on You Tube Cigar reviews.

Good video, also alot of decent ones on You Tube I have found.

My ST Dupont Xtend has not failed me in the 2 or so years I have had it for. What I find is that as long as you feed them decent fuel, most lighters will last for a long time.

I got a free Colibri CI Synco Smiley from cigars interational that works pretty good.

I had another cheap one I bought at the beach years ago. It ran out and I bought one of the tall thin red and white cans of Butane at Wal-Mart. Tried to refill it per the instructions, never worked out. Not sure it the refill nozzle was bad on the lighter or what. It'll just spark, and sometime you'll get a very tiny blue flame that burns like a regular flame lighter instead of the torch. Not sure what went wrong so I bought the new one last night.

you didn't put ronson butane in a normal lighter did you? anyrate, go buy you a cheap ronson lighter... even if it breaks, buy a new one, great lighter for $3

What Rev said. Go back to Wal-mart and get you one of these.


They are $3. I found mine at the check out lane that sells cigarettes. It's as good as either one of my Colibri or Xikar lighters. I'm sure the Dupont lighters are great, but for the money you spend on a Dupont, you can have a couple of boxes of nice cigars.

Plus I would probably loose a Dupont with my luck. Make sure you get a minimum of triple refined butane to refill with. That Ronson fuel you bought is garbage. Check out your local brick and morter for a good can of butane fuel.

As far as a "good can" goes, what price range could I expect so I'll know I'm getting a better fuel? I went and checked my can, and it is Ronson. So that brand sucks, I'll remember that.
