It looks to be a Dupont copy, given away with a box purchase. A quick google search found one retailer still running the promotion, there may be others as well.

I have an Xikar single flame which looks, feels and works great, but its a bit small and doesn't hold a lot of fuel. I picked up a dbbl flame BlackOps on cigar bid for 8 bucks and it could cook a ribeye well done with fuel to spare. If you're like me and bring a few sticks out for a walk, the BlackOps might be to your liking.

Bobarian steered this old bart to the 1300-C butane jet lighter from dealextreme. The lighter and their service used to be excellent.
Now their service is non-existent. I ordered 7 lighters on March 6, they charged my card, never received anything. They say the item is out of stick, though the web site states they are in-stock, still waiting for them to credit my VISA.
Serves me right to deal with Hong Kong. Dave at buylighters.com does not suffer from this foolishness. Have been a steady consumer of the extremely stylish and reliable Nibo Space 7 double-flame torch. More $ but I don't worry about getting bunco'd.

UPDATE:
After 3 messages, DealExtreme responded. A woman (I think) named Sherry took good care of me. She cancelled the order and refunded my credit card charge.
Funny the web site says the lighters and cutters I ordered are IN Stock. But she replied that the items are backordered.

My 1st lighter is still my hardest worker.
Lights up and keeps the flame effortlessly.
It's a single torch Vector "Max"





My 2nd lighter is the triple torch "Heatranc"
This one has given me problems in the past.
Some operator caused. After spending time
with it and learning some basic maintenence.
It's become a solid lighter.




Now, this Bad boy is on my wish list!!
The Vector THUNDRA



Can't go wrong with the VECTOR brand. They stand behind them.

Vector rules. My shop stopped carrying Xikar lighters after maybe 3/4ths of the lighters we sold started coming back for repairs within two months. We switched to Vector products last June. Since then, not one lighter has been returned as defective. The $12 Urbano triple torch is our best seller. The cheapest Xikar that has comparable features retails for at least $60.

Here's a dirty little secret, the guts of that Thundra lighter are the same as the Urbano, with the execption of a slightly larger fuel tank. The Thundra has weights in the bottom to make it feel heftier.
