I have a Xikar executive. It's cheap but it works fine. No problems with it so far and as long as Xikar stays in business it's suppose to carry a lifetime warranty.

I have personally owned quite a few Lotus lighters throughout the years, and prefer them hands down over any other brand in that price range. My favorites were the L1 and the L13. I put those lighters threw hell and they never failed to light, and never fell apart. In fact I still have them somewhere and whenever I check them, they still work beautifully. I can't say that about Colibri or Vector or Firebird. All of those gave out relatively fast. Maybe you should try out one of their better styles . Helll, at least it was only $20... I've wasted hundreds upon hundreds of dollars just trying out different brands for varieties sake... And Lotus wins the prize every time. I'm actually on a mission now to buy up as many L1's as I can since they seem to be going extinct. Sad sad state of affairs, I tell ya. :fp2

Welcome to the Asylum; you should head over to the new inmate area and post an introduction. As for the Lotus lighter, I wouldn't hold your breath awaiting responses as this thread was dead for over five years.

+1 on the Lotus / Vertigo lighters. Have a Vertigo Executive dual flame. Solid, heavy quality build with large easy flame adjustment. Works vey well - would certainly buy another.

I have nothing to add to this thread but LOL over whatever Cigary did to get banned that earned the special banned avatar.

Because this was revived- lol- I have a vertigo lighter and it has been the first torch lighter I have bought. Not sure of the model but it has lasted a few months with not much messing around with.

The one I have came with a punch at the bottom which works well in a pinch - don't like the punch myself all that much but it it is nice to have.
