I received a Blazer Optimus cigar lighter as a Christmas gift - bought from Amazon.com. The lighter does not work - has a slow leak and will not hold fuel after being filled. Fills Ok, but discharges completely after a couple of hours. Also, lighter looks to be used and not new, as was sold to us. Amazon will not stand behind this, even though they sold us a damaged, used, faulty lighter. I contacted the manufacturer to see what they can do, but with the thing looking like it is used, I do not hold out any hope of getting any satisfaction.
I will not spend any more in the way of repairs on this after Amazon's unethical response. Probably will just throw this trash away. Unfortunate part is that I actually wanted a Palio or Xikar cutter, which would have been about the same cost. It's the thought that counts.
Lessons learned here is to stick with quality brands with a real warranty, be painfully clear with non-cigar significant others as to the Brand you want, and be damn careful where you buy from!
