best new lighter for noob

[Coasty]

My go/to is a triple flame Jetline that cost around $20. Have been using it for around 3 years. And then there is the Black Ops Kilo, triple flame with a punch for a few bucks more.jetlineNYgreen.jpglighter black ops K.jpg These pictures were taken off the internet so don't pay too much attention the the price. Just want to show you what they look like.

I use a Bugatti CEO triple flame. It's got a built in punch. $26 on eBay. Works good, but have to refill after two, maybe three sticks if I'm lucky.

Ronson jetlite is hard to beat. Around three bucks.

I have a Xikar single flame jet from Cigars International I only use a few times. You are welcome to it if you want it.

With all the days past since the original post, I'm going to guess the free lighter offer isn't needed so I'm passing it off to another smoker.

I have had many lighters... I still have many lighters lol, but I just bought an Xikar Allume all the same:

Why:

- It's small - so I'll keep it on me. Just a bit smaller than a Zippo. So it'll fit in the pocket watch pocket in my jeans.
- When you put it in your pocket upside down, it deactivates.
- That guarantee. There is nothing worse than spending big bucks and then having to pay to fix it. Arg
- It was relatively cheap. $40.00: http://www.elighters.com/lighters-xi...-lighters.html
- it doesn't have a lid to get in the way.

I am hoping I like it. I like single flames. Triples and doubles are great - but the single touches up well and lends itself to smaller lighters for edc carry.


Good Luck.

I'll let you know what I think when I get it.

If you are looking for a good quality lighter for a pretty low price I would steer you towards the Vertigo, by Lotus brand. Vertigo is their lower-end brand, but they offer a lifetime warranty on them. I have a Vertigo Bullet that I have been using for years and never hard a problem with. Big adjustment wheel, double flame, punch cutter...

I use two Colibris - a Jet and a Wellington soft flame. I spent $30 on the the Jet before I discovered Cbid, and then $16 on the Wellington. Both work well for what I need. I'd like to get a couple of nicer lighters, but these have worked great for me. Like everyone here said, Ronsons are great and cheap, I used to have one, but I forgot I had it in my bag at an airport security line, and had to pitch it. Xikar's are great for the warranty, that's probably my next lighter.

I won't claim that it's the best lighter made, but I happen to like the dual-flame Vertigo Trek, $16.95 at Mike's Cigars (www.mikescigars.com) and probably available several other places. It isn't the classiest lighter I've seen or owned (it looks a bit like a flattened hand-grenade), but it works well and -- unlike some of my previous lighters -- it resists over-filling gasket blowouts pretty well. I own two of them, and I'll advise buying either the chrome or gunmetal finish; my black Trek is showing some paint rub-off around the edges after just a few months of pocket-wear, while my gunmetal Trek, which I've carried for a couple of years now, still looks and works like new.
