I really dig mine, has a nice weight and heft to it
They are no doubt, the very best of the best! Enough said!!!
I have had one for over 12 years now, a simple chrome one, never a problem, still looks like new, works like a charm and holds a lot of juice as well.

Twelve years and no problems for a butane lighter!? That is impressive!
Love it
You'll be happy with it I'm sure
Well after "making" me research lighters I have just purchased (a good eBay find) an IM Corona Double Corona lighter for elevating my cigar experience 
. And with all the research into pipe lighters that I ended up doing I'm now on the hunt for a reasonably priced Kiribi Kabuto in Silver to elevate my piping. Thanks for continuing to enable my obsessions and pursuit of all things awesome!

I have had 2 Coronas. They work well for a long time..
The fix it place is music city marketing in Nashville..
The lighter will last a long time.
However, it does require repair

Without a doubt I am a lighter aficionado and I have over 30 of them of all kinds...single torch, double, triple and soft flame lighters out the wazoo! Different brands...Xikar, ST Duponts, etc. and the Corona is right up there with the best of the best and I use mine for cigars and pipes. Although I have an older unit I have my eye on this one....so close to closing on this for $140.
As a follow up question....does anybody own the Xikar Old Boy lighter...same design and look but considerably cheaper...but it has the lifetime warranty like the Corona does....does the Xikar work as well because I'd much rather purchase theirs for $25 and have the same warranty if it does work as well?????

I have the xikar old boy style. Don't like it- inconsistent flame. Wanna buy it?

Sure...you wanna buy one of mine that doesn't work? lol Why don't you send it back and see if the next one is consistent? I love the idea of lifetime guarantee but if it doesn't work right...what's the use, right?
Only $80!!?? There's gotta be a catch. Refurbished or something?Just info for the mind.. Not sure if everyone gets emails from eacarey but they have them on sale right now for awhile, even non-members get the members price right now
I have been searching old boys for some time now and eacarey has had the best price at 89.99 but only 2 styles.. Now it's down another 10 to 79.99.... I don't see any catch other than a good buy on select styles
