    For the cheap in your pocket, another recommendation for the Ronson JetLite and a key ring punch. For other times the Bugatti B1. My only complaint about the B1 is only get 7 or 8 cigars out of a fill up and no fuel level window. The B1 is usually in a deal here at CCOM for dirt cheap.
    +1 on the B-1, wish it had a fuel level window, but other than that I love it.

    I love my MOW Lotus lighter. It has to be refilled every 10 cigars or so but it does a great job. I have a Xikar Executive and it's given me nothing but issues from day 1. The Ronson Jetlite is a solid lighter as stated by other BORK's as well. It's my back up lighter
    man... i love my executive. 5 years perfect performance.
    oh well.

    I use a butane creme brule torch. It has an adjustable flame size and power. Works great.

    I have the B-1 lighter for over a year now, and so far so good.

    Just a few minutes ago, I purchased 2 Colibri Hybrid lighters for $23 each at the auction site. Retail for $100 and looks great.

    My favorite lighter is my Vector Hammer single torch...with Xikar butane in it, it never fails me. I have bought an Xikar, just fond of carrying my Vector

    Ronson JetLite here too. I only found them at my local Walmart once, but I bought five of them when I was able to find them. Pretty reliable (more so than a 30 dollar Nibo I bought), and not bad looking either.

    I've got a Xikar Executive, A Bugatti B1, A Xikar Ultra, and about 3 Ronson Jetlites......If you want to know what works the best vs. dollar spent? The Ronson is easily the winner, performs great. Easy adjustment knob, re-fillable, great flame, great fuel usage, and slim enough to slide into a pocket, and looks like a real lighter. For 5 bucks at Rite Aid AND it comes filled with fluid. The Xikar Executive and me didn't get along at first, its now working great, but it doesn't look very cool. For the price a standard good lighter, but I am very ho-hum about it. The best looking and sounding lighter is the bugatti, it looks and performs awesome, but its adjustment knob blows. And I like the Xikar Ultra cause it has my name on it, has a fuel window, and is the partner to my Xikar Ultra slim cutter which also works awesome, but it also is not winning any beauty contests. Honestly I love all of these lighters, have had zero problems with all of them, but they are all a little different. But if you want me to recommend the best lighter for the money? Ronson JetLite by a mile
