Time for a new lighter

corojobrad · Apr 25, 2006

I was ridiculed by a relative (catmechanic) this weekend for using a disposable to light my RP '92 after cutting it with my Xikar Titanium. I have two cheap torch lighters but they are both crap. One looks like it belongs in a Star Trek episode and the other has flashing lights and may have had a previous life in a disco.

Does anyone have any experience with Xikar lighters? I like the looks of them and I know they back their products.

I know its not a direct answer to your question, but I wouldn't bother with the extra cost of one of those. I just use a z-plus insert for my zippo and it works like a charm. The only downside is I have to refill it kinda often, but that doesn't bother me.

I also noticed the other day they are sold at Heartfelt as well. Just a heads up...

I've got no experience with the Xikar ones. I have 2 Colibris that I use. I have had one of the pair for 10 years maybe, never a hiccup. Bought a 2nd one 2-3 years ago (needed a gold one for evening wear, lol).
I just saw a new one I'm drooling on at the local shop the other day... $56....
