Good lighter recommendation

[Good Stick]

So are the quad/triple jets just too much for a cigar? I?m also on the hunt for a decent lighter, I?m leaning toward Xikar

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

Agreed, only drawback you can?t check how full the reservoir is

Is it one of the extra fancy ones? They?re not normally near that much

That's a shame.

After much consideration, I've decided on the Xikar Verano in silver, I went onto our sponsors website and asked if there was a promo code, as I'm a forum member, they said no, I also asked if they did free delivery, they said no, so I ordered it from Amazon, same price and free delivery, what's the point of having a sponsor with no benefits, doesn't make sense, atb Daz

14 quid on amazon - boom. Just ordered one.

Solid, very happy so far.

Funny I have quite a collection of lighters that I?ve accumulated over the years including a DuPont and a Dunhill soft flame that was a present from my grandmother in the late 70?s when I smoked cigarettes. But I always favour the same lighter as is a reliable workhorse.

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....

Hahah a nice lighter I think is something you ?treat? yourself with once you?ve been enjoying cigars for a while. That?s said I?ve dropped mine that many times it looks like a ?5 special! Works a treat though

Yes, that's the one. I made a typo, my bad: Maxijet, not Maxi Jet. Brilliant lighter, I'm amazed at how many cigars one can light with one filling and I really like the flame as it's rather small in diameter. It gives one much more control when lighting a cigar.

Absolutely. Compared to the zippo butane I have the flame is definitely hotter, I believe by design as it has small air intakes to boost oxygen for combustion.

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

Anyone smoking a few ?15 cigars a week can afford a ?50-100 lighter if needs be, but I think the rate of returns dimishes considerably... They all light cigars. I lose em too often. That's not to say I won't get a colibri stealth sometime soon...
