Wanting a new lighter

junkinduck · 03-18-2010, 06:43 AM

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.

AngryBill · 03-18-2010, 07:48 AM

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

These are awesome. Look at the price! Free shipping too!

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.

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?

OHMatt · 03-18-2010, 09:04 AM

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

This has me intrigued, to what lighter are you referring to specifically. Drop a link to it if you can. Or are you referring to a suggestion that has already been posted if so which one?
Thanks

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

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:

+2 for the lotus. Really good lighters for the money.

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

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)!

mosesbotbol · 03-18-2010, 05:32 PM

Atoll lighters are steal for $100.

03-18-2010, 05:46 PM

Siglo makes great lighters...

captain53 · 03-18-2010, 05:52 PM

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.

RUNYYFan · 03-18-2010, 09:17 PM

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.

Hi Guys,
New to this forum, first post!! Just so happens I bought two lighters last week. One is the vector deluxe and it is a table top with the two flame ports. Jet and soft, very cool but not really a pocket lighter.

The other one is the Bugatti B-1 and I got it for 10.00 with the purchase of a 20 bunch of tierra del sol's. I bought them on the CI website, and they are still having the special as of this morning. The total price was under 50.00 including shipping and the lighter (now we all know retail to not really be the way to gauge anything but it does retail at 100.00 and sells on the website alone for 50.00. So you can look at it as getting some everyday sticks and a REALLY good lighter. It is a single jet flame and the lighter is heavy. Feels good in the pocket and it toasts cigars nicely. So do a search on the CI website for tierra del sol's and you will see the option to buy the cigars and the lighter together. Hope this helps.

This morning I couldn't stand it anymore and bought a Lexington Cabinet humidor, I am so stoked. (Just had to tell someone!!)

I am pretty new to cigars, about 8 months now. I usually keep about 100 smokes in my current humidor and now that I have a bigger storage facility on the way, I will be excited to start buying box quantity.
I really enjoy cigars, it gives me something to do when I am walking the dog!!

Since I am new I have been exploring different blends and brands and am having alot of fun with it. I have developed a passion for them, I enjoy just looking at the glasstop humidor and seeing the pretty maids all in row, and I start getting that little extra saliva on the sides of my cheek and my heart races a little just thinking about the next one I get to enjoy!!

This is a great site and I look forward to looking at some of the posts and inputting when I can. I am sure that there are alot of people on this site with tons of experience and I look forward to utilizing some of that knowledge.

Have a great day everyone!!
