I have heard people saying good things about the Xikar lighter but what do yous think is better the Xikar or the Lotus http://www.elighters.com/lotus-lighters-lotus-2.html when i went to the cigar lounge over here i went un knowling so i had to borrow the owners lighter and thats what he had it was nice beautiful nice weight to it and great flame which do you think is better to get... im getting tired of my JR Colabri
 
I really like the Z-plus lighter 'cus it's cheap and I'm cheap. I also have a Robusto Colibri (but, I only use it at home.)
 
for that kind of money -
spend a extra few dollars and get a Dupont Extend!
Mine has never failed me!
 
how long does it last once its filled up? is it heavy... i like it to have a nice weight to it
 
I've heard people say they wish it help more fluid.
I fill mine only now and again.
I'f I'm heading out for a day/night of cigras I fill it.


It is a very nice lighter - they go for around $100
Trust me it will be the only lighter you ever need!
 
where did you see if for 100 i was looking and it was like 160
 
I got a place - if you want I can get you one.
I'd want an extra $5 shipping.
It will be next week before I can down there -
(it is a friend of mines shop)
but that is what he sells them for - possible he could mail it directly
to you not sure if he does that?
I can check.

I have the Z plus insert in 2 of my Zippo cases , & I have a torch orginal & a few torch knockoffs , one Colibri, but the Z Plus is my go to lighter all the time, the only problem I find with it, not a big fuel reserve, so I carry 2 of them, No Problem, Enjoy, Vince
 
I have a Mini Xtend and a Z-plus insert. I mainly use the Dupont and I keep the Z-plus as a backup for when the Xtend runs out of fluid, which it does frequently, as small as it is.

I've never had a Mini my friend doesn't carry them, but I'd use
one in the house.
I Love the Extends it works!
 
Mine hasn't failed me yet! I love it. I got it for $93 shipped from a place I know of.

By the looks of the photo , some one should show you how to cut a cigar, way to much was cut off IMHO. Enjoy, Vince
 
Having had accessories from Lotus, Porsche, and Xikar, I can safely say that Xikar is the brand to go with. One simple reason. Lighters no matter who makes them are unreliable at best. My Porsche and my Lotus lighters broke within a year and I had to pay repair costs and shipping.

Xikar has not had nearly the problems and if it does, I know based on their lifetime warrant they will replace it. That type of guarantee goes a long way.

I agree Xikar has the ebst warrenty & customer service of
any company out there!
Outstanding service without a doubt!
 
Well the girlfriend made the final decision (since she is paying for it) she said the lotus looked the nicest so my order went in this morning for the Lotus L2 lighter in gunmetal pearl and for the Xikar multi tool in black.
