I was just about to walk back inside when I noticed something silver under a bit of snow on the deck. It was my Colibri Firebird. I'm thinking to myself, "there is no way this thing is going to work." After months buried in the snow the thing fired up on the very first try.


By the way, I just lost the damn lighter yet again.

What I found most suprising is you have a Colibri that actually lights!!!

When I was leaving to go back to school after one of my breaks I couldn't find my lighter. I was extremely bummed since it was a gift from NorcalMark. My mom called me a few weeks later said their dog was trying to get something under the couch and when she got down to see what it was it was my lighter. Dog saved the day!

You know what, I totally remember that later, on the day I found the lighter, I was thinking, "I do not remember anything about that cigar I smoked earlier (I think it was something new that I was sampling)." I must have been in shock over the fact a Colibri lighter not only worked after sitting in a snow bank the whole winter, but it lit on the very first try.



That's an awesome story about the dog finding the ligter! I have two basset hounds that love to bring in my old cigar butts. One morning I woke up and went downstairs to find another butt sitting in the living room. Still sleepy, I bend down to grab the cigar and toss it in the trash. Lucky enough I realized it was a dead mouse just before I grabbed the thing.
