Does anyone have this lighter?
Is this one any good? I've seen it in a store locally and played with it for a few minutes. Seems like a sweet lighter. Opinions??

I will never buy a Colibri again.... Got one... Didn't work sent it back. 2nd one didn't work.
Kept it until Cigarfest last weekend guy tried to fix it. It worked for 2 hours then nothing. Go with Vector.

I am one of the lucky ones. My colibri broke down, but a buddy on CP taught me how to fix it. I love it for sentimental reasons, but I wouldn't purchase one. I highly recommend a zippo w/ a zplus insert. My GF got it for me for Vday and it's lit every cigar of mine since.

I use Xikars now, and love them. Plus they have a lifetime warranty if something does go wrong. |

We sell a ton of these. They are extremely high-quality and work like a dream. As long as you use good fuel you'll never have to worry about these at all. I honestly and thinking of buying a Zippo just for the purpose of buying one of the Z-Plus inserts. It's the best torch I've found (with the exception of the Blazers we were selling in the shop not too long ago, but for 1/4 the price I'll take the Z-Plus).
