Xikar EX Single Jet Flame Lighter, Windproof, Durable Body, Easy Fuel Adjustment Wheel, Stylish Design, Protective Cap, Gunmetal

This stylish lighter is very well made with a lifetime warranty. This substantial lighter is solid and feels heavy in the hand, a joy to hold. Ergonomics couldn't be better, fingers are nowhere near the flame. The lighter does not use an excessive amount of butane as other torch lighters tend to do. The top of the lighter is flipped open to reveal the torch and igniter button. Lights first time everytime. The single torch can be adjusted down to produce a 1.5" candle flame, perfect for lighting cigarettes. The lighter has a catalytic device built into the torch jet to help keep the lighter lit in windy conditions. The flame adjustment wheel is easy to turn with thumb and forefinger, yet stiff enough to avoid accidental turning. This is my favorite lighter at the moment, replacing a sterling silver zippo. Five stars !

This is my second Xikar EX single jet flame. I still have the first amd it still works fine. A path of the old one fell out i found it and fixed it before this arrived. This lighter was tested and is in perfect condition I have no doubt it will last years. The first lighter has lasted 6 years so far.only needed a tiny bit of locktite to make it nearly new again. The shipping was fast and in perfect condition. I strongly recommend this brand amd this specific model as well as the the seller.

This lighter produces a flame unlike any I have seen before. To me it appears to be a hybrid, incorporating the best elements of both a traditional soft (lighter fluid) flame and that of a butane torch lighter. It provides a windproof butane flame that is perfect for lighting cigars. Like I said, the flame is a little of each type. About half of it is a bright blue torch lighter flame and it does sound like any other torch lighter, with it's "jet engine" hiss. But the other half of the flame is the soft yellow-orange type. The result is ideal for the proper toasting needed when lighting a cigar. I also love the flame control knob that can be adjusted using my fingers, no screwdriver is needed. Along with Xikar's lifetime warranty, this lighter is a great value. (I wish it had a fuel level window. But after using it awhile, I now have a good feel for when refilling is required. Besides, if it had a fuel level window, I'd have to give it a six star rating).

I noticed after opening the box the front of the lighter was clean looking, the back had a few scratches, flip top wasnt as solid as people say...no biggie. Checked the valve for air and filled it with fuel. It worked flawlessly for about 15 or so clicks. Then the filiment heating element stopped working. Kept trying it the rest of the day. I even clicked it and lit it with another lighter to make sure the fuel was despensing properly. Yup its broken...I sent it back the next day. These lighters are a cool concept but the geniuses making them need to figure out how to make them last as long as people expect. Then to top it off I have to pay for return shipping on a defective product. Ended up going to the old faithful Butane Lighter Insert for Flip-top Lighters which has a flint lighting system to replace my old zippo lighter fluid insert. Everyone is having problems with these types of lighters after reading various reviews. Stay away unless you like sending things back on your own dime. Would have gave negative stars if possible.

Wish you could see level of fuel. It is a solid flame.

This is a great lighter, perhaps the most consistently functioning lighter I have ever owned. It is not a jet flame lighter so I use far less fuel than a traditional jet lighter would use. This works great for when I am on vacation for a week. I can light 3 cigars a day for 7 days and still not run out of fuel. Because it is not a jet lighter it is technically okay to take in your carry-on luggage when flying as well. Although they so occasionally try and take it during screening, I just request a TSA supervisor (better trained) over and they give the thumbs up to let me and my lighter pass. I have given this lighter as a gift before and had three initials engraved on the front. It turned out beautifully. I highly recommend this lighter.

I've been using this for a few months now, and it's been a solid lighter. It's a great size, looks great, good to carry on you at all times for any occasion. Neat little feature, the longer you hold the gas lever depressed, the flame will stay activated after you let go until you close the lid similar to a zippo. You may need to be careful however as the lid on this doesn't go all the way back like a zippo and will get warm from the flame. So close it quickly and don't let your finger linger on it and you'll be fine. Because of the potential to burn yourself closing the lid, i'm knocking off a star, it could be easily fixed if the lid opened to 120 degrees or so instead of 90 degrees.

Absolutely the best lighter I've used in a long time. Fantastic design and performance. Feels real nice in the hand too. Highly recommend it for nyone looking for a flame windproof lighter. Worth the extra $$

I have received it and added gas and it didn’t work.

Great lighter
