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 figured if the rep couldn't fix the damn thing for more then two hours I'd give up.

So you were the guy that tied up the Colibri rep for most of Cigarfest!

Bad lucks with Colibri. We stopped carrying them at the shop because people kept bringing them back.

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).
