Prometheus Churchill X

[BagfullofPings]

Does anybody use one of the Prometheus Churchill series? If so, how long have you used it and how many cigars do you smoke per day? If you smoke a lot of cigars, have you had any problems?

Thanks,

Jason

Not me but I highly recommend a S.T. duPont Xtend. I average 1 stick per day I guess for 3 years and NEVER has the lighter failed me one time.

Just grab 10 Ronson jet flames at walmart and you'll be set for like 3-4yrs and it'll only cost you like $25, how could you beat that deal?

:rofl: Kinda true, 10 of them might set you back $40; but I think he is looking for an expensive lighter.

I hate to say it, cause I really like the Prometheus lighters in regard to style, but their quality is just above Colibri IMHO. Get a Dupont if you want quality and style.

I have had a xikar lighter for years, along with a blue rhino, and a ronson all torch all several years old. I use them all the time. all costed me less then 30 dollars. All work everytime first click.

Perhaps I should have provided more information.

I'm looking for a flint ignition system. Do any of you guys use a flint lighter?

A more affordable option my be the zippo blu. Been thinking about picking up one of those for myself!

I was thinking about the Zippo Blu. Xikar also makes a flint line that looks similar to the Dupont and the Prometheus.

If you want a flint, Prince lighters last for decades.

If you are looking for a high quality soft flame flint lighter, I believe the old boy lighters are what you might be looking for. Kind of more of a pipe lighter but works well for cigars too. Good sturdy construction.

I have heard the same thing

I just got a colibri belicoso flint dual soft flame lighter and I have had no problems with it and it was cheap ($20 on ebay) I want to get a Dupont some day but now the colibri and my fleet of ronsons are doing the trick

Thanks guys. I ended up buying a Colibri Belicosso on ebay. It set me back a whopping $29.

I rcvd my lighter this afternoon. Wow, I wish I would have bought this a long time ago. The soft flame is elegant, it is compact, and the flint roll ignition is VERY smooth. For $29, I may have to buy a few colors.

Nice pick up Jason! I prefer my Dupont Xtend or my Atoll Robusto, which has a soft flame!

 

[Poriggity]

Since when did soft flames become the choice for cigar lighting? Nice lighter though! Jason, I thought it was you that said you'd never own another Colibri?
