I picked up the silver Xikar lighter for $14 about a week or two ago. Its larger than a zippo, which is a bit of a drawback, but also a benefit for fuel reserve. Its also quite heavy for this sort of lighter. I see where the comments of "clunking" comes from, and some lighters in the store were looser than others, but this is not a big deal.

Worth $20-some dollars? No. Worth $10-ish? I guess. Would i buy another? Well, its a good working torch and everything, but the aesthetics, ergonomics, weight, just the overall design of the thing does'nt cut it for me... it closely resembles something found for $4 on the counter of a convienience store or gas station. So no, I'd not buy another.

Makes a good backup in the glove box tho
