Xikar lighters

I haven't spent more that 5 bucks on a lighter for over 10 years, and my frustration level in very low.

You spend 5 clams for a lighter? Dude, you are a high roller indeed. My last purchase was four for ten bucks on Amazon.

Unfortunately DealeXtreme doesn't seem to carry lighters anymore. Now that was the place to score 'em cheap!

Yeah, but they started taking your money and not shipping. Didn't happen to me, but to many of my friends.

Mind you, I still have 6 of those. Last for years even with daily use.

I hadn't heard that but not surprised. I still have a number of their triple flames laying around somewhere. Ran out of their single flames though.

As far as the original question, I consider lighters expendable and buy them cheap. The four I recently bought on Amazon work great and were like two and a half bucks each. Punches and cutters on the other hand I look for decent quality. Personally I prefer Xikar punches, and I use my old Palio for the rare times I need a cutter.

Bill, I have half a drawer full of the Eagle torches that are like 10 for $19. Even if they only work for a month or two, they were less than $2 apiece.

The first $5 was a necessity, I was heading out and forgot a lighter. Found the $5 torches at Ace Hardware, and they actually work a little better than the Eagles.
