Been looking for a nice single jetn and Colibri has been on the list of alternatives to Xikar. Stopped in Emerson's for a quick look at single jets, and to my surprise - all Colibris were 30% off. Told the shopkeep to wrap it up.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...dd67c50053.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...46cdfbc4b7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9a22ef17bb.jpg
Nice looking lighter. Hopefully it performs just as good as it looks.Quote:

Had a cheap Vertigo triple flame that performed great. Kinda sucks having to use a regular soft flame bic lighter
Used to have a really nice xikar but its somewhere in my storage unit 6 hours away. Plus I couldn't use it here anyway.
Too bad as it was a great lighter.
Colibri is also supposed to be top notch from what I have read

Yeah, that does suck not being able to have a butane can.Quote:

I haven't noticed any difference in taste using a bic. Its just more difficult to get a good, even light with them.Quote:

Only a zippo would be a problem due to the strong smell of the fluid. Definitely wouldn't use one

Don't see the Jeep lighter mentioned often,like them a lot, work nicely one hit to light a cigar, easy refill. Like 'em more than Bics, Ronsons, also thy're light weight and not bulky.Quote:

Bic works, there just can't be any wind, and its harder to get a good, even light.
I commonly have to correct the burn early on due to not getting evenly lit with a bic
