Now that I just bought a first class cutter, I'm looking for a good lighter to go with it. Any suggestions? I use matches now, but I'm looking to step it up a notch.

Nibo

Second the Nibo recommendation! I found mine on eBay a couple years ago ($8, I think) and it's still going strong.

I looked at the Nibo site, and I like the Hawaii or Supra 72. Is there a specific model you guys would recommend? Thanks for the replies!

HERE'S the one I have. Also, if you hava an old Zippo you like laying around you might think about a Blazer Z-Plus insert.

I've been using one for a few months now.

I've got a 3-torch Nibo and the only negative is it burns fuel fast. It was slowing down a while back and I just used a needle to clean out the center of the burners. Very inexpensive for what you get.

Colibri Enterprise Triple Flame, is what I have. Really like it but have to fill quite often. I couldn't figure out how to copy and paste the pic but you can see a bunch of good Colibri options on Tampahumidor.com.

And don't forget to use good fuel - Blazer, Lava, Starlite, King, etc. Triple refined or better.

Remember - RONSON = DEAD LIGHTER

I think Lava is out of business. I've been using Vector in its place which is quintuple (5x) refined just like Lava and I won't ever go back to anything less than that now. I've had absolutely no issues with any of my lighters being clogged since sticking with Lava and now Vector fuel.
