Wanting a new lighter
 
I am looking for a nice lighter. I have several ronsons and a blazer insert. But would like to have something that looks nice and feels good in the pocket. (not that a ronson looks bad). I would like to keep it under 100.00.
I am looking for all sugustions.

I go for function rather than looks.
Blazer PB-207 is the only one I use consistently.

I love my Dupont Xtend. Work great and look great! Just a tad over the $100 mark though.

Yeah, I must admit, that Ghengis Kahn is a great mongolian commie lighter...Elderboy gave me one and it works great! Sometimes it keeps on working it you press the eject all fluid release slide feature (black slide button in the front).

Im gonna have to go with the Tat Table Torch. A touch under $50 Washington's but it is phenomenal. Feels great, lights every time, great conversation starter. But to each his own. I smoke outdoors a lot so I felt the need for a triple torch.

I am a fan of the Lotus lighters -- they seem to do really well for the price. It probably makes a difference what kind of lighter you want (torch or soft flame, if torch, how many flames, etc.).

This one is a triple torch and has a decent punch on the bottom:

Used one at the B&M. Heak of a torch but bulky in the pocket. I want a portable, more than one flame would be nice but not necessary, and a torch flame.
I kinda like the ever torch from stogie torch. Any opinions?
The blazer little buddy?

I would get a blazer PB-207 or a St Dupont X-Tend. Mike's cigars has the Maxi Jet model for $125.

Is the PB207 the same as the little buddy with the chain cap?

I have a Xikar Enigma and I love it! Only $50 and a lifetime warranty.

I love my EverTorch. Look up Pete (screen name: replicant_argent) here for more info as that's his site.

Not the same. If you look at the picture below you will see the air vents below the jet assembly.

The fuel rate adjust is a lever just below the jet on the PB207

The jet assembly of the Little buddy looks to be more compact and lacks the below the jet air vents. The fuel rate adjust is on the bottom of the lighter.

Chances are the Little Buddy will be a fine lighter, but CG-001 wasn't nearly as good as the original. I have been a bit hesitant to get a Little Buddy even though they look better.

http://www.nibogroup.com/products/view/357 Nibo Royal 44 Triple Flame, light mirror on the inside of the lid, punch on the bottom, extremely reliable and inexpensive ($18-30)!

:tpd: Probably not as nice as you are looking for, but for the price, they are some of the best lighters around IMO.

Atoll lighters are steal for $100.

A bit over your $100 mark but the ST Dupont Xtend is a sexy pocket lighter and works very well. I have a James Bond Limited Edition that my wife gave me or Christmas several years ago and love it.:tu

For a few years, I had used the Zippo blu. At $60, it was good, however, I found the flint wheel to heat up very quickly.

I switched over to the Xikar Aria and at $69.99 the two-jet set up works exceptionally well. I particularly like the fact the thumb actuator is on the side, away from the heat source.

Right at the $100 price point is the Xikar Trezo. Same design at the Aria, but larger with 3 jets and a bigger tank. A friend of mine gifted one to me. Have to say I think the 3 jets are a bit much. I think I could roast a small pig with the heat it gives off. :)

I would suggest, regardless of the lighter, to check out Vector Quintuplus Refined Premium Butane Gas. I've found it to be a very clean burning fuel (no particulate buildup and no after-smell) with a great price point of around $6.55 for a 320 ml can.
