spend the money and get a S.T. Dupont X-tend and you will never ask about lighters again.........

colibri's are cheap? cost wise is the comment...

I got 5 or 6 in a drawer LOL...

firebird... by colibri.. cheap and has lasted longer then their $100.00 crap...(6 months and counting) Walgreens..

Hog

I wish i would have got a firebird like UsaHog1!!! I have not got my colibri to light yet.... I've had it for a week....

Get the smiley face torch CI carries (I've seen it here, too). About $10. I have two, and they have yet to fail me (one I got with a magazine sub., it's the same basic model).

#8 - The synchro lighter is the one that fell apart on me today. Till then it was a great lighter esp. foe the money.

#10 Go figure. Mine have been solid. I'd normally have added the $3 Ronson, but word has it few folks, if any, can find it where it used to be sold (hint: think stores with a greeter).

Zippo lighter , with Zippo insert, problem over.

Save your $$$$$$$$, for cigars.

Lotus. Nice lighter, never failed in 2 years...

RE #12-

Rumor has it that Wal-Mart no longer carries the Ronson JetLite.

Most Rite-Aid, CVS and Longs pharmacies do though. Costs about a buck more there, so $3.95.

not impressed at all with colibri or xikar fuel. the First Light stuff that goes up for auction here has resurected a number of lighters of mine that i assumed were trash because of the 'brand name' fuel listed above.

$12.95 triple jet no name from my local 4 years ago.

Yes.

See post #18

Like I said in post #18, unconfirmed rumor.

Could be a regional thing too.

A lot of Wal-Marts seem to no longer carry them though. Ones around here don't even cary butane anymore (the butane was also from Ronson so it could be that they are no longer carrying any Ronson products.)

Was discussed in the following thread a few weeks ago:

LOL.

#21 Got a Perdomo-branded Vector triple flame at a Perdomo event in Washington. Thing worked great for a month. Since then, no amount of purging, cleaning, trying different fuels, etc. will get the damned thing to work. I've basically given up on it. Maybe if they come back to the same place I'll try to get another. This lighter is a total POS.

#24 Or post #12.

Xikar

Stay away from "C" lighters... overpriced made in China/Korea Pieces of SHIIIIIITE... mine have been out for service so many times, its ridiculous... they are now my "backup" lighters for when my Xikar and Lotus are out of gas

for the money - ya can't go wrong with a Xikar... small gas tank, but - heck ya can get a "classy" looking lighter for cheap...

for a bit more money, Lotus L200 lighters - huge tank, dependable, and it can light up a stick like a mofo

Always good to have a cheapie (…but reliable…) lighter when you’re out and about but everytime I go to Wally World I either forget to look for the cheapie Ronson or they’re out. Then again, I have a bunch of new lighters so should go through that box first.

Buy as many of the cheapest ones u can find..when 1 stops working ...toss it n grab the next...

I haven't bought a new lighter in approximately 8yrs...

Yes...im serious...

Cheap lighter with cheap butane...

The Ol bic lighter is pretty hard to beat. I have a bunch of cheaper lighters. They usually work fine. My favorites I guess are xivar but I lose stuff too

Morietti
Quad lighter
The best cheap lighter on the market
$9-13 depending on the A-HOLE millionaires bidding everything up in C-Bid for the last 8+ yrs
Sold on Cigar bid

Ronson lost all quality after 2012...

.mighta been when zippo bought them or took over making them for Ronson...

Pre 2012 Ronson's were decent...
Post 2012 Ronson suck donkey DEEEEKS...
They come out of the shrink wrap broken and never work more than 6 months

Ronson's B.L.O.W.

MORIETTI OR JETLINE BEST CHEAPOS NOWADAYS

The MORIETTI QUAD FLAME ALSO HAS A HEAVY D.U.T.Y.
CIGAR PUNCH ON THE BOTTOM OF IT THAT WORKS FANTASTIC...LIGHTER WILL BREAK AFTER 4-6 YEARS BUT
JUST YAKE YOUR FUEL CANNISTER AND PUSH IT DOWN ON EACH OF THE QUAD LIGHTER HEADS TO CLEAN THEM OUT 2-3 TIMES A YEAR ..
( MAKE SURE THE HEads are cool, room temp...not hot as **** after using the lighter, that could explode....but certain IDJITs would try that with out thinking first)

The cigar punches never break...
I keep my two? Broken ones around to use the cigar punch...


I have at least 20-25 of them, I got them super cheap yrs ago...now they are $24.95 retail on cigars international.

Why did CBid stop auctioning butane?

I used to get it cheap here. *sad face*
