New lighter ideas needed

[Bax]

If you're looking for a cheap double or triple torch www.Taboocigars.com has jetlines for about 7 bucks each and they have very large tanks. So far mine light like champs!

I've grabbed a couple of Vector lighters lately which seem pretty good. All under $20.

dealextreme has those same jetline lighters for $2-$3 w/ free shipping. However they don't come with a 1 year warranty. Just sayin...

Btw, I have a jetline that has fallen on the ground, been accidentally stepped on and it still works like a champ.

A box of bux to Bax!
He is dead-on -- the Jetline double-torch and triple-torch cigars from Rob at Taboocigars.com are the best value. Made in Japan. I buy 'em by the dozen.

What do you use to refill them? I like the look of these.

I don't care for multi-jet torches. If you typically smoke jaw buster ring gauge cigars, I can see how they might be appealing.

My advice would be get a PB-207 or St. Dupont X-Tend if you are looking for an improvement to $3.00 Ronson lighters. Ronson lighters are tough and reliable. In my opinion, most $20 - $50 lighters are much more problematic.. The mid-priced lighters (between the cheapest and the top of the line) are the ones I suggest you avoid. They typically have the internals/mechanisms of the cheapies but have a fancy enclosure.

There is a lot of merit to sub >$5 lighters from DealExtreme and Ronson. You can put extra lighters in your briefcase, car door, glove box, cigar caddy, etc, etc, just in case you forget the other or run out of fuel. I bought a bunch of these from DX, and all of them have performed well for 3 years now. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1456

I can see that...I have a Colibri tripple torch that I use for my large ring gage cigars and a Blazer for my smaller gage cigars. I also tend to use either my Ronson or my Blazer for touch ups because I've destroyed a cigar before by attempting to touch it up with the tripple.

Just my

Thanks for the advice and I will look at the ones you mentioned. I typically go for robustos so it can take a while to light one up (the correct way).
