What Is Your Go To Lighter

[godpheonix]

i usually try to use a match at home but i do use my Xikar triple flame when needed.

[s1911]

Love my Dupont with the dual cigar flame!

[beparrish]

I use the $3 Ronson Jet-Lites from Walmart. They are incredibly dependable and if I lose one or it breaks, no big deal. I've been using them for close to 10 years, and only one has crapped out so far.

Not long ago this thread would have brought a tear to my eye, as I lost my trusty Cartier while skiing three years ago.  Bought in '03 and not made any more, I thought there was about 0.1% chance of replacing it.  Then a month ago, on a complete whim, I Googled the model number, hit and hope.  Top match?  Link to eBay, identical lighter, mint condition without a blemish, box and papers, and Buy It Now for £50 more than I paid 15 years ago!  Would have paid double without blinking.

Long Davidoff matches when I can. DuPont maxi jet and ligne2 when I am alone. vertigo with company because they always need to use my equipment.

[n2advnture]

ST Dupont X-Tend (aka MaxiJet) and when I'm feeling fancy a Ligne 2

But the Eagle Jet's are awesome too, especially for outside and lighting the firepit and fireplace LOL

[fitzy]

I think I'm going to have to buy one of those Eagle Jet's off of Amazon. Looks like it's got a big reservoir and it's only $7.

I prefer a soft flame if possible as I find my cigars burn better. All other time I use my single jet xikar.

I have one of these. It's a good product at a reasonable price. I have terrible luck with lighters. I lose them or they die. The Xikar is holding up well and I like a single jet.

Vertigo Glock.  It has been very reliable and fairly inexpensive.

Yup, no issues at all with mine. I love the easy flame adjustment, clear butane reservoir and the single torch is ideal for touch-ups. Add the life time no hassle warranty and its the perfect lighter IMO.

I recently ordered a Prometheus lighter.  I went with the Ultimo X Black Lacquer.  I can't comment on durability, but I've been very pleased with it so far.  It's very premium feeling and has a triple torch flame that is directed to a single point.  Also has a built-in punch.  Not too expensive either at US $90.

My favourites are moody Chinese ST DuPont's... From a distance look genuine, heavy and even had the ping (until it falls off!)
Go to eBay and search memorial s.t Dupont lighter

I have a bunch of lovely Dupont Ligne 2s... so beautiful. But I actually use this ugly little bugger nine times out of ten, because it works like a welding torch in a storm, and it sails through airport security all over the world.

This one after all the expensive lighters I have had just end up failing after awhile . $20 bucks can't go wrong.

[Jal154]

Getting away from torch lighters that I have.

So what is your go to lighter? 

The one that works.

[BrightonCorgi]

Bic or Kitchen Stove have been my go to's.  Dupont is sitting on my desk as I type.  It's been so long, I bet it needs a servicing.

[Habana Mike]

My Dupont Defi Xtreme is a workhorse. Use it multiple times a day and can go days between refills. I use high altitude butane. Keeps from having to turn the gas up.

That is my exact lighter for the past few years. They aren't as easy to find anymore, but for between $9 and $12 each I'll keep a few stashed for one when gives out, one in the car and one in the travel humi. They will last though, the only issue I've had with them has been my fault- leaving them in a hot car one time too many will put a big leak in them. Being from KC I try to be a Xikar fanboy, but I have not had longterm success with their lighters.

5$ Canadian at the dollar store.  This thing sat on the patio table overnight during a rainstorm like a boss and never stopped working haha

I love this particular lighter - durable and affordable!

Awesome! Where can one find these?

[nKostyan]

For public meetings with friends, Lounges, photo shoots - Xikar.
For everyday use in privacy - cheap desktop Chinese turbo lighter, which is not a pity to break or lose.

[Stogiepuffer]

I use mostly cheapos from CP or Amazon. The Black ops is a quad flame with clear visible fuel tank which is a must for me. I think I got them on sale for 10 bucks for two.
