AMAZON Creme Brulee torch $29.99

Those of you in the market for a torch lighter should consider a Creme Brulee torch. One of my local BOTL has been using one for months and it works much better than any torch lighter that costs 5X as much. Only $29.99 on Amazon. I just got mine in this week and it works great. It's shipped w/o fuel and holds a LOT of fuel, about an entire can worth. Advantage is you don't have to worry about running out at herfs. Instructions say to use premium fuel but don't specify triple refined. I used half Colibri and half Zippo "Premium butane" (not sure how refined that is, but has to be better than ronson) and it is working fine. I'm pretty sure our local BOTL said he just uses the cheap stuff and has never had a problem with it. It's great for herfs

and for use as a lighter at home. I can post some pics of mine if anyone would like.

I sure wish I had found this before I shelled out $100 for that Colibri triple torch

The Tool Warehouse has similar Blazer torches.

You bought a Colibri anything? And here I thought we knew you.
You can also use them like my wife does...on the best creme brulee anywhere.

If you buy 5 of them, you practically get one for free with the coupon code ($25 off purchase of $125 or more). Time for a group buy!

It wasn't my fault, it was those damn four bottles of wine our table had at the post turkey day crawl

I started a "most regretable cigar/cigar accessory purchased while drunk" thread shortly thereafter.

Hey, I didn't notice that before... good call. In fact I'm pretty sure you could get those shipped direct to whomever participated, Amazon has that feature. Would save a lot of $$$ on shipping

Some guy that frequents the B&M by me wears these huge pants, in his pocket he carries one of these, except that his is blaze orange in color.

Prefer soft flame lighters now

Actually the torch has an adjustment right behind the nozzle, when you slide and hold it forward the torch becomes a soft flame. Though the soft flame does remain blue, so it will be a lot hotter than a regular yellow soft flame.

I have one made by Vector. Have been using it for a couple years now. Works great, and the chicks dig the "Big Flame"
