Took the plunge on an Xtend - UPDATE
After reading many posts about the Xtend and tiring of trying to light my Dupont Gatsby in the wind, I decided to bite the bullet and get one. Found it for $99 at Atlantic Cigar. I have two Dupont flint lighters that are bulletproof so I figure the Xtend should be just as reliable.
I was debating getting the Xikar Exec, but some posts regarding its fuel capacity and fragile finish led me to the more $$$ Xtend. I've never had much luck with torches. Hope this one is worth the money. UPDATE: __________ Just got the package from UPS. Lighter came filled with butane, but I will probably need to venture to my local B&M to find the DuPont refill. I got the matte black and it looks great. The glossy colors are nice but I was weary of them attracting scratches and fingerprints. This thing lights with authority, unlike my previous cheap torches. If anyone is looking to get an Xtend, please try Atlantic Cigars. All their regular models are $99 (any color). I couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else. Came in two days via UPS ground. I've bought cigars from them before and I've always had a good experience.
