Commander Quan · 02-05-2009, 11:09 AM

I just got his email for people that can't get their colibris fixed now that the company has shut down.

way for Xikar to step up!

Steve · 02-05-2009, 11:22 AM

I guess that I'm out of the loop...when did Colibri close up?

mithrilG60 · 02-05-2009, 11:32 AM

Middle of January I believe...

I'm not sure that's a step up. I know their customer service is very good but lately I've heard bad reviews on their product.

Really? Cuz I only hear pretty much all positive things about xikar.

My Xikar has worked like a champ for over a year with no issues. Then xikar has a 100% guarantee if something goes wrong...

Oh snap.

You sir made my day

Had to pop your RG up for this!

Lighters aren't bad. Mine was good for about a year and a half before it took a dump, was too lazy to send it in and bought a used IM Corona instead which has been going strong for 3 years now.

But a good business move for Xikar.

That is a good move by Xikar, but I think I am the only person who has a good Colibri. I have had it for more than two tears and it still works great. I don't use it all the time, but it works great every time I pull it out.

MikeyC · 02-06-2009, 09:59 AM

The only thing is I could buy a Xikar lighter on cbid for more than 20% off already. I love the Xikar lighters but I think the MSRP on them is a bit high.

It is a tad high, but I think that is to pay for the lifetime guarantee... so I don't mind the premium...I will probably send it my lighter just to get it serviced and tuned up a bit.

I have the Guiness Firebird and the silver Executive - both work well.

I have a Colibri that has worked like a champ for years (of course I have never used any other torch lighter to compare). It is a great gunmetal color, nice heavy weight, and has a fold out punch. Love the lighter and I am sad to see the company go.

that is a prity cool deal

Either way it's still cool that they would offer up a program like this.

Catfish · 02-06-2009, 12:15 PM

I now have an excuse to go get a Fuego. 20% plus my 10% discount for havin a locker at my local B&M. OOohh yeahhhhh!!

02-06-2009, 12:21 PM

Where do I bring the Colibri to? Any B&M that sells Xikar?

Catfish · 02-06-2009, 01:06 PM

Doh! I meant a Trezo.

Boomer · 02-07-2009, 05:02 PM

I'm sorry Colibri left before I had the opportunity to stick my three lighters up their A$$.
