Good cigarette lighter for around $30?

[003]

I'm looking for a reliable, single flame butane lighter to be used primarily for lighting cigarettes. Budget of around $30. I've looked online and there are so many brands and choices, but I have no idea of what is good quality and what isn't.

What would you guys recommend I look at?

Go to the introduction page and tell us a little about yourself.

Greetings my brother and welcome to the family!

But to answer your question, if you are "only" taking about cigarettes, I would go with a Zippo or maybe a Xikar. Xikar is also good for cigars, but not a Zippo.

I'd just go with a Ronson or a trusty ol' Bic for 50cents.

What about an Xikar Genesis? They seem nice and I saw a pretty good review of one. It has a large metal flame adjustment dial and a slim fuel gauge, and it supposed to be very sturdy feeling. And it's $33. Thoughts? I know I could go with a cheap bic, but I love the butane lighters and find them very cool, and I don't mind spending a bit to get a nice-ish one.

I don't blame you buddy, Xikar's are great and come with a lifetime warranty so you can always get it replaced if it dies on you.

ronsons at wallyworld....3.99 lol...cant beat that..and they work good...jmho...len

I agree can't go wrong with a Ronson from Wally World, reliable and cheap enough so you always have a spare handy.

If you are going to use this to light cigarettes, I would just go with a cheap Ronson. Or a bic. Honestly, and not to sound condescending, with cigarettes, it doesn't really matter much.

If it's style you are looking for, then that's going to cost alot more money.

I have had my Ronson for over 2 years and its cruising strong! Love them!

If it's style you want, I hear Davidoff is tough to beat.

My all time favorites are the ST Dupont lighters. Now we are talking.

*I just seen the $30 price range. Get a Ronson, they look decent and work great. Put the other $25 into a pair of good cigars.

jumping on the band wagon...got a Ronson that is beat to crap from opening beer bottles...but works like a champ!The only lighter I have had last longer than a few weeks. But they also looked good (if u don't use it to open beer bottles) Stick with that and spend the other $27 to try out a couple nice cigars!

 

[003]

I seriously considered a Ronson guys, but I've already ordered a Xikar Genesis I know it may be overkill for cigarettes but as I've already said, part of it is I just like nice butane lighters because they are so darn cool! It's got a lifetime warranty so I am covered, and I will only be using quintuple refined butane fuel so hopefully it will serve me for many years to come!

Enjoy it bro! A nice lighter is always a good thing!

You know what would go good with your lighter? Some free cigars from Twenty5...someone please reply to his thread...this is a very nice gesture and no one is biting! I cannot believe they have lasted this long
