Prometheus lighters and cutters

I could or would not recommend a Prometheus lighter in good conscious. They are poor quality and won't last.

Check out Atoll lighters if want a nice one, but not ready for Dupont/Dunhill/Davidoff level lighter.

Several years ago I had a cigar aficionado Prometheus lighter. It worked well for about 6 months. Then it just quit no sputtering or any warning and I could still light it with a match and use it. When I inquired about a repair or replacement and warranty, I was told I could replace it for $49.99 plus shipping. Personally I now swear by xikar. My oldest lighter from them is arguably almost 15 years old has been replaced twice (for free) under their lifetime warrantee program. In my opinion very much worth the extra 20 bucks I spent on it as opposed to the Prometheus. Yes I am a xikar whore but they really earned it from me in customer service.
