POS Colibri Coleman Tempest lighter
I "won" this POS on cigarbid. Its official name on the c-bid auction lot is the "Colibri Coleman Tempest" lighter. The Colibri name is only on there to sucker in people like me who don't know any better. The label on the side says Coleman to sucker in the guys who buy a lot of camping gear.
Please don't waste your dough on this crap. Its no deal, even if the "winning" bid is low. |

Colibri should use the skull and crossbones for their logo. They and Ronson belong together.

Based on personal experience with 3 or 4 lighters, Colibri torches absolutely suck. I've heard that their flint-ignition, soft flame lighters are decent, but I'll never find out.

Colibri is a name I stay away from. And Coleman ain't got no more prestige either..... they just went bankrupt...anybody who has bought a Coleman generator recently doesn not have a warranty anymore...
