Xiker lighters

Has anybody had an experience with a xiker lighter? I am interested in getting the exII specifically and wonder if anyone has use this lighter or any xiker lighters and what their experiences were. I know that their cutters are wonderful and am hoping their lighters follow suit.

First its Xikar(pronounced Ziii-car) and no need to contemplate it. Unconditional lifetime warranty, I just had to send mine off to be repaired replaced/but thats after two years of abuse and I mean abuse! It costs nothing except the shipping of the lighter to them to get it repaired/replaced. If it hadn't been for my local B&M blowing out Colibri's for $10 I would have never bought anything but Xikars ever again. I bought one of the $10 Colibri's to get me through until my Xikar is returned.

I got a Xikar about 3 months ago and it's all i use now. I've had no problems with it lighting; even though i've dropped it plenty of times on my concrete/paver patio when messing around with. In addition to the lifetime warranty, i liked they sent out a leather pouch for it as well.

I agree - except I bought a Xikar to get me through while I awaited my Xikar. My lighter lasted about a year before I sent it in... Great company!

I want to get the triple flame but I can't justify it now. I have 4 colibri lighters. One dual flame with apunch that barely works, one that I use all the time and two more that are just sitting waiting for this one to die.

looks like im making the right choice then! im excited to get it

To throw my hat into the ring here, I use a Xikar Element, which is a fantastic little piece that I abuse the hell out of. Additionally, invest in a cutter; I have a Xi2, and I wont use anything else now. Great company.

Ah, and they make great cigars as well; finally had the Defiance a few nights ago and it was a great little stick.

Yeah Beta' the Defiance really surprised the heck outta me ...I had my first one a couple weeks back...it had been resting about 4-5 months and was really quite flavorable ...

I have a exodus that is over a year old and has had no problems. I love it.

I think I'm in the minority, but I have a Xikar Executive, and the damn thing never works. It goes out in any light wind, and I need to shake it repeatedly before using it (it's bee fully fueled) - and even then, it only stays lit for a few seconds, not even long enough to light my cigar! Damn thing drives me crazy

My Bic (5 for $1 at a gas station) on the other hand lights on the first or second click and stays lit until my cigar is lit

I also have a Xikar Xi2 - good little cutter; cuts as well as a brand new cheapo cutter, but stays sharp for longer and then there's the lifetime warranty

xmacro send that Xikar back! Those executives are excellent lighters, Xikar will fix it or replace it and you'll love it.

Yea i have one of their bullet punch's and love it i am planning on getting a cutter i have heard great things, ordered a plain old ex today and should get it tuesday hopefully. I want to try the defiance so bad but they dont have it in b&m's near more or on cigar.com. Did anyone find them online anywhere? PM me if so, im skeptical about ordering from new sites so i wanna do it from somewhere trustworthy and fast i.e. ccom

Xikar's lifetime warrenty is great. I sent in two lighters that needed cleaning and repair and my cutter that needed sharpening. I opened a package from them today containing brand new replacements for everything I sent in.

I'm one more for the minority xmac, I just bought an Exec last week. First few lights it was awesome, now any light breeze it goes out, sometimes it takes 3-4 tries to spark. I had the guy at the B&M look at it and put more gas in it, still sucks.
