Lighter Suggestions

[Prine]

Ok, well I guess my lighters I've had for 15 years kicked the bucket. What does everyone use for a on the go lighter? I need a torch, 1-3 burners, something to use at the range where wind can be an issue sometimes. Doesn't have to be fancy, just needs to get the job done.

I’ve got the soft flame butane insert, I’ll have to look at the torch insert.

I heard bad reviews when I looked at them before. Now you got me thinking twice

I'm loving my Palio single jet.. more so than the single or double Allumes that I had. Holds at least 5+ lights, prob more like 10 now that I'm using better butane.
The finish doesn't stand up to pocket wear though, but none really do..

Xikar xferno double jet not 20 but not 260 either 70 bucks worth it can get it cheaper with discounts

I don't recommend this one. I've had several of the pipe versions and they are hit or miss for quality control. My daily carry is a Blazer PB-207 and has been for almost 20 years. They don't last forever, but I usually get 5-8 years out of them if I use good fuel, which is important for torch lighters. Try to find one without the safety, it's a PITA.

I had heard the same. but for the price took the leap and have had zero problems. I'd recommend it any time. but YMMV

Thank you all, lots of good options here. Sorry, work has been crazy and probably won't slow down for awhile, I do appreciate everyone's suggestions. They closed down our range here due to fire danger, so I have some time before I need to buy a new lighter, My desktop lighter is still working ok. I'll take a look at all of them. Thanks again!

I'd recommend the Xikar Stratosphere
1-3 burners: 1
wind issue - windproof
Doesn't have to be fancy - it has a string so you won't lose it
high altitude - just look where you live
look at all those

My favorite lighter.

None of the fancy lighters I've ever owned were reliable at 12k plus feet.

It checked every box, and works extremely well, thank you my friend!

I had a hell of time trying to find that thing here... I bought it over 2 years ago one late late night on cbid I think
The kit came with the xikar can ashtray as well - I don't use that thing either
I switched over to dual flames and use the Stinky can for the vehicle.

yeah but when technology breaks down do you have the skills to survive as a cigar smoker!?

Yes, yes actually I do. Gonna suck using the bow drill or a hand drill to start the fire, but it’s possible
