  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

What 3 burner pocket lighter do you like.

I'm looking for a 2 or 3 burner lighter. Nothing too expensive but one that is reliable. I have a Xikar but it's nortorious for looking right side up when it's upside down. This in turn means you light the palm of your hand instead of your cigar.:stickbeat This thing has burned the crap out of me and my BIL. I'd like a 3 burner that only lights right side up.:blushlove What do you guys recommend?:stretchgr

I'll take a pic of it tonight. It has the push on the side to light it. Don't get me wrong, it works great. I've burned myself and my BIL has done it too. I've come close to doing it again several times as well.
I just went to their site and I don't see one like it any more. Maybe we weren't the only ones that did this.:dunno:

I have done the same thing! Wasn't a Xikar I don't think, but now it is in a land fill somewhere.

Nibo has some good economical 3 burner lighters but I don't like using them as they waste more butane than my Ronson,,,you can't beat a Ronson anyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

Haven't had much experience with the Xikar triple flame but have had good results with both Nibo lighters and Lotus.

I'm very happy with my Xikar Enigma. I think I got mine at an event for $25.
Had the original & it messed up - the cute rep replaced it -Guaranteed for life.
New model is much better too: no rivets & auto-flip top.
I actually use the leather sheath to keep it pretty too... I'm a happy customer.

I do recommend 5x filtered butane though.

Wow - I totally got suckered into the old-thread re-hash...

Hey Ketzelle, head on over to Intro's and tell us a bit about yourself!

ps- Colibri went out of business. No guarantees with them.
