Cheap Lighters

I found this place. They have some cheap lighters. I've never used them but I may order a couple to leave in the cars.

That is really cheap. Can't expect those to be worth much, if anything. I recommend upgrading a bit and buying a cigar savor torch lighter for $20.

I received one from a gracious board member (thank you Master Gates) and have been very pleased with it. For $20, you can't go wrong.

I've had the triple flame blue light one. It lasted about 2 months. They break very easily.

Got one of those...no complaints, but my Ronson Jetlite has been the best bang for the buck.

I have a Ronson jet light that is over a year old and working just fine. Has never failed and for $2.99 at WalMart it has been better than the Colibri lighters that I received free from Cigar Magazine and JR's.

I see a lot of hatred for Colibri around here. My wife bought me a $45 Colibri last year for Christmas, and it has been fine thus far (knock on wood). I guess I got lucky. But to tell the truth, the Cigar Savor is slimmer and I tend to use it more often than the Colibri.

IMO these are, by far, the best torch lighter bargain out there.....

I'll go look for the $2.99 lighter at walmart.

I have nice lighters but it seems I never have one with me. I'll buy a couple cheap ones to leave in the cars so there is always one close.

I got a $40 Colibri almost 5 years ago and it's still working like a charm.
