Xikar EX Natural Flame Lighter

[kaelaria]

This is a solid, all metal lighter with a spring action top cover to protect the burner and button. It’s actuated by a single thumb button that ignites a wind resistant natural flame, approximately 1″ high. It has quite a heft and feels rugged in the hand, being the prefect size for my larger hands and fingers. With a large bottom thumbscrew for burner adjustment, it gives a total burn time of just under 7 minutes.

One of my favorites of the Xikar line. The other two I like to use is the axia and the versa.

I bought one of these before, sent it back. Not very 'wind resistant'. I so wanted it to work out. We just had to part ways and I went back to a torch.

I am having issues with mine. Wont hold gas and now the lid is stuck open
Will try and switch it out today but buy a torch also.

I have had mine for a couple years now, solid for me. I must agree it is not really wind resistant, but other than that has been very good.

 

[wideboy]

I have the Havana version of this, and I like it very much. It is a bit less wind resistant than a torch, but a great lighter.

My favorite lighter and use a Ronson as a back up on really windy days.

I have the carbon fiber one. The soft flame makes you look super sophisticated when your lighting your cigar lol. Its a good lighter for indoors but it wouldnt be my first choice for lighting a cigar outside or really large ring gauge cigar. Once you buy the lighter you should turn it up "internally." Get a small screw driver that fits the screw on the little wheel. Once you loosen the screw the wheel will spin freely allowing you to turn you lighter waaaay up. Once you get it to a happy flame height tighen the screw and you have reset the flame range on your lighter

What burn time do you get with your happy flame? Seems 7 minutes isn't all that good and would require frequent refills probably would be empty midway through a herf.

I just got mine today and the burn time is more than sufficient. I smoked 3 tonight with few touch ups here and there and few bros borrowed mine to light up. 7pm to 11pm of heavy smoking and still going.

Its less than 7 minutes but its still acceptable to me. Because is a hundred dollar soft flame lighter Im usually only using it indoors so Im never far from the butane can
