look what the mail man brought me

Devanmc · 09-16-2010, 06:03 PM

Well some of the items i ordered from famous-smoke showed up today. Very excited to replace my low range vector torch and firebird cutter(blade was just to thick it wouldnt make a clean cut). They just weren't doing it for me, seemed like good enough reasons to me.

So i sold them and ordered these

x-treme travel(50 and a 5 count) humidors should arrive tomorrow. will post additional pics

Sweet pickup Devan.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the crossover lighter. As a lighter whore, I've been thinking about getting one.

I plan to light a nice stick up tomorrow after work, i let you know more, after i actually use it. So far it looks great, its light but feels sturdy and has a nice flame to it. Which is wider and taller then the average single flame, also very hot(similar to my old triple flame). Wish i could get my camera to take a good picture of the flame.

Nice pick-ups.
I looked that lighter as well. I think they call it a flower flame or something the way it lights up. A couple of smaller flames surrounding a larger flame.

Nice Haul Brother, thanks for sharing!

that is a nice looking lighter. How big is the container (as in, how many cigars can you light with it before you need to refill)?

No idea yet, just bought it and haven't lit a single cigar. I could empty the tank and tell you how long itll burn from full to empty. But it will be a couple weeks(i hope) till i empty it, from lighting cigars.

Very nice! I love my xikar!

Devanmc · 09-25-2010, 02:17 PM

Short test reviews:

Cutter: is working flawlessly and much better then my previous firebird. Makes a clean cut every time. Just gotta work on getting my cuts level

Lighter: is working marvelously, have lit about 7 or 8 cigars with it now id say and it hasn't needed a refill yet. The flame gives me a nice wide heat pattern as well.

Nice pickup Devan. I always liked the Xikar cutters but I have trouble using them from time to time as I am used to the regular two guillotine cutters. Maybe when my Montecristo guillotine cutter breaks I will pick up one of those cutters.
