S.T. Dupont X-Tend
 

I used my 1st Dupon X-Tend last night and I'm real close at biting the 20% off deal at Cigarmony, how reliable are these lighters, how do they hold up over time? How about if it's windy?

darrell hit me up my tinderbox has them for 90 plus tax. The best lighter you will ever buy just pm DGAR;)

What's the total with tax and shipping USPS priority?

I have had mine since last March, haven't had any problems yet. I love mine although I got it for free.Don't know if I would pay the scratch for it, as ronson's work great too. But I do like it a lot, and it works well.Hope this helps:D

Had mine for well over a year and it still works great. I use it everyday.

Re: S.T. Dupont X-Tend
 

I've had mine for 4-5 years. Never a problem and has a strong flame that works well in the wind :tu

Re: S.T. Dupont X-Tend
 

Im not sure how many they have left but I know Chris I both picked our up at the same shop, there 90 bucks anf after tax your still under a bill...

To Darrell's questions.

Reliabilty... I've used my same x-tend for a couple years maybe three years, and it has never failed to light the first time and it has a nice flame. I do nothing to special to care for it, carry in my pocket, bleed it once a year, maybe..... ZERO problems. Only advice I would give is use good fluid, I use Vector,

Wind.... well I guess this might be the one area I've noticed that you might have trouble with, under normal conditions its fine... but Darrell if you live near the bay area I dont know, it gets sort of Windy there, Maybe one the the other Bay area BOTL can fill you in.

You cant go wrong with an X=tend... its a one time purchase.

I've been using mine for three years and it's still going stong. I love the thing! :tu

Hi Darrell,

I have had 3 in rotation for nearly 5 years now with no problems at all.

If you can pick one up for $90 + tax, that's a KILLER deal.

Since Dupont's fire in Feb and TCG (colibri) not renewing their distribution of the St Duponts, there currently is no US distributor. I have heard the Davidoff or Dunhill is going to be the distributor which will most likely force MSRP on them, so get one while you can now.

I hope this helps

You sure the Tinderbox x-tend isn't the X-tend mini?

That's an amazing price for a full size X-tend. $100 off msrp.
