Good lighter recommendation

I think @gojira is referring to the ST DuPont version (fancy!). I love my Minijet but have others as well.

The moment you realise you aren't one of the rich kids...

Well mine cost ?3-4, who's laughing now?! If anyone needs me I'll be alone with my Maxi Jet having a little cry....

I love my Maxi Jet.

@geoffbot recommended me to buy a few from ebay as a cheap lighter to get started. They are an absolute steal!!!
I would love to get something more fancy, but the Maxi Jet does the job fine for now

Nope. I just buy a recognised brand like Swan.

Apologies for high jacking the thread, but on a similar note, have you fine gents experienced any difference with the various brands of butane for sale?

+1 for the butane Zippo insert. Hasn't let me down and not too pricy

14 quid on amazon - boom. Just ordered one.

Thanks guy's, some good suggestions there, I didn't realise that Zippo did butane inserts, thats definitely something I'll look into, atb Daz

You can get both jet flame and soft flame butane inserts for a Zippo


I opted for a soft flame option.

I have always like Colibri lights, but generally found they stop working much quicker than I would like, so will be trying Xikar next

Saying that, I do have one which has served me well for years now - I can't remember which one it is now and it doesn't seem to be available now

I was gonna mention that I've had no luck with colibri lighters, xikar has been fine so far and I've not even accidentally dropped it once!

Had a Colibri Falcon single jet about ?26. 2 year warranty luckily as it packed in after 18 months. 3 repairs done and still didn't work. Got replaced by our sponsor and no issues now for almost a year.
Would I buy another, probably not as the reservoir doesn't seem to last long but it does light cigars efficiently.

This is a workhorse from Zikar, not sure if they still make them, the cutter it came with is brilliant

Ive got a Colibri Daytona, strong single jet lighter. Really like the lighter, really solid and well made. varying prices but think they are around ?30-?40 now.

Zippo have also just released their own butane jet and soft flame inserts which are very good and work a look at if you like zippo's
