Xikar XTX Double?
 

My younger brother is starting to get into cigars more and he asked for a lighter for Christmas. I have a Xikar crossover and I love it. He says he wants something a little bigger and preferably something with multiple flames as opposed to a single jet flame. After a bit of searching I found the Xikar XTX double. It looks like a nice lighter and it looks like it meets his needs. The only problem is I can't find any reviews on this so I would be buying it pretty much in the dark. I would feel bad if I gave my brother a piece of crap for Christmas so I was wondering if anybody has any input on this specific lighter or on other lighters that seem to fit the description of what he is looking for. Thanks for the help.

Can't go wrong with a Xikar...lifetime warranty. For a few less $$...the Xikar Executive II is a very reliable and good lighter, double flame. If you would like a good single flame...the Blazer Little Buddy is a solid lighter (been using mine for well over a year without any issues). :2

I've been looking at the XTX double flame in Gunmetal. Looks like a solid lighter, I'll probably get one after the first of the year.

Thanks for the ideas. My roommate and another good friend of mine both have Executive's. I think the problem with those and the little buddy will be that he wants something a little bigger. The XTX was really the only thing I could find that was bigger than my Crossover and had a double flame without getting him a table top. As you said can't go wrong with a Xikar but I was just hoping someone has played around with the XTX.


I'm about 90% sure this is what I'm getting him. I'll tell you what I think of it was I get it for him.

I have one of these and love it. I feel it's a little too big, but if he wants size, it's got it. Double torch with 3 different sized cigar punches. Check it out.

It says Concord, but mine was clearly marked "Lucienne" when I bought it, which is also who makes the cutter I use when I don't punch, which has also turned out to be a fine piece of equipment.

You can get the XTX...sounds like a great lighter but I just bought the CAO stocking stuffer "black ops" edition and it's a triple flame (just as addition to the XTX) plus you get a nice 5 pack and a cutter (cutters ok but on th cheap end)

Check it out they are back in stock...

That way your brother will have two lighters plus some smokes to go with them:tu

hey did you end up getting the XTX double ? im trying to find reviews or something about it and there is absolutely nothing... I about to get the gunmetal xtx double but i find it kinda hard to do online shopping for lighters...
thx

Re: Xikar XTX Double?
 

In addition to the XTX, Xikar makes some other double flame lighters like the Element, Escalade, Enigma and Axia. My personal favorite of the double flames is the Axia. Nice heft, and slim enough to easily fit in my pocket.

Re: Xikar XTX Double?
 

I have a element and I love it.

Re: Xikar XTX Double?
 

Yes i did. My brother seems to like it and hasn't voiced any complaints to me yet. I can ask him for a bit more information since i personally haven't used it.

Re: Xikar XTX Double?
 

yea I was hesitating with the Escalade but I find the push button on the XTX more convenient !

cool thank you! how do you find the gunmetal look? is it similar to the pictures on the net or its quite different right in front of you?

I saw a XTX Double go on cigarsprintsale.com for $40 shipped earlier today.
