This is a solid, all metal lighter with a spring action top cover to protect the burner and button. It’s actuated by a single thumb button that ignites a wind resistant natural flame, approximately 1″ high. It has quite a heft and feels rugged in the hand, being the prefect size for my larger hands and fingers. With a large bottom thumbscrew for burner adjustment, it gives a total burn time of just under 7 minutes. Video on the site

I had one of these, they are not bad at all. The windproof soft flame is nice.

I need to send mine in for service. The flame isn't coming out of the middle.

Try going through the complete purge and refill procedures on the Xikar site - they do make a big difference when followed to bring back performance.

I did purge, and blew it out with compressed air with the same result. It's going back tomorrow for service. It's a great company.

My only negative is the flame is very hot, so the wrapper can scortch quicklyif you aren't careful.

I have the LP #9 version.
