new lighter?

[anthony d]

I am in the market for a new lighter... Gifted my XiKar Element to a friend, so now I just have the Lotus L48 Apollo.

Looking for something dual torch, black, stainless or brushed finish, with a very modern look, under $100.

Any suggestions?

Looked that site David, the only one I like is the Lotus 52 Orion, and I kinda wanted something different.

Try buylighters.com, that is our all lighter site. We only have 1/4 of our lighters listed on cheaphumidors. Dual Flame or Double Flame? The Vector Armor is one of our top selling dual flames, not too expensive

Buy a zippo and swap out the insert. I have a dual flame and a single flame. You can't beat the coolness of a zippo.

People on here will eventually call me a xikar whore but you cannot beat their warranty and customer service. They are now even offering some lighters in a soft flame instead of the micro torch.

Am I right to assume that high altitude lighters are better constructed to withstand higher vapor pressures inside the lighters at high altitudes?

My follow up question would be: could those lighters hold isobutane at sea level without the potential of rupture due to their better interior construction?

As we are on the subject, Anthony, do you like your Lotus 48 and would you recommend it for someone looking for a cutter/punch and lighter in one?

I've had one on my wish list for awhile, and I've been looking for something that I can toss in my pocket when I'm on the go so I don't have to carry a cutter/punch as well. I hate a bunch of crap rattling around in my pockets. I want one tool to do it all. Would the 48 be good for that?

For this purpose, it doesn't have to be pretty, but compact, durable and reliable. A cigar lovers foot-soldier tool.

Yes, I love the 48... Definitely would recommend it.
