Thinking of getting a soft flame butane lighter and don't really know of that many. I'd like to find something that looks classy and isn't uber-expensive. Any suggestions?

EDIT: If it helps, I like the look of the DuPont and Dunhill flint lighters, but I'm not opposed to other styles.

I have Dupont, Atoll, Vector and IM Corona soft flames. All work very well. The Atoll and Vector have wide "cigar" flames.

I really like the Vector Emperor triple soft-flame ligher.

Holds a good amount of butane and the wide flame makes
it easy to light large gauge cigars.

I have a Porsche Design soft flame that I really like. I haven't had any problems with it and really like the way it works.

Bic here too! I've used them for a long time, and never had adverse effects. Plus at five bucks for a five pack, you'll have one every where you need a lighter and some places you dont!

I also have a Colibri soft flame that was a gift. I've had it since Memorial Day '06 and have been very pleased with it.

Not sure of the retail price but the new Xikar is a gorgeous soft flame lighter that is also wind proof. Saw one at RTDA and you can't blow the thing out.

Good luck

I second 56tweeds recomendation of the Porsche PD1 Electro-Quartz lighter. It has a soft flame, is really cool looking, is small, and not too expensive.
