Happy day for me!

What about this model makes it so desirable?

When I started out I got a cheap ronso, no issues with ronson but was given my axia by a botl. Good dual flame that almost always worked(except the 3rd time thru the washing machine on accident). Holds good amount of fuel for several cigars. Nice and big adjustment screw on the bottom. This thing will run any fuel(I may have not bought the best fuel for my lighters early on). Fuel that would make other lighters not work my axia burned thru it. It feels less bulky than some other lighters I have had. I had my first axia for about 10yrs. It was as much a part of me in this hobby as the cigars.

Good to hear! In my 24 years of cigar and pipe smoking, I find good lighters (that will stick with us) hard to come by! I have many that I like, but no longer have one that I love...thanks for sharing!

No it was pretty much toast after that last washing. At that point local store was still doing still doing a swap out before xikar rma process switched. It was that new one that got sent in. Didn't hold fuel kept burning after you let go of the button. I waited a bit before sending it in for fear of what happened was gonna happen aka not getting it back.
