Posting a review after I received the Xikar 5x64 Turrim Double Lighter last night from ccom
I was impressed on opening the box. This is my first Xikar purchase, and the presentation is very nice. I would be comfortable with the packaging enough to present it unwrapped as a gift.
The lighter itself came with plenty of padding, including a nice cutout in the closed cell foam for the lighter.
I picked the gray anodized version. I also picked this oversize model with the express intent of having something as a table-stye lighter. I care for the Alec Bradley The Burner table lighter quite a bit, but wanted something a bit different and geared more towards travel.
The Turrim is approximately the size of a double toro, and will fit in your humi, but is a bit too large to fit in a 3 finger case.
Some of the features of the lighter which I enjoy are the enormous reservoir, the fluid window, the flip top/piezo igniter, and the easy to adjust oversized fuel adjustment k.n.o.b., and the lifetime warranty any Xikar product carries.
The double flame is powerful, and I have it dialed back to the lowest setting. Toasting and lighting are going to be very easy.
As far as cost goes, it is half the cost of a Ferrari lighter, and I expect a long service life from it.
I will weigh in in 6 months and in 12 months with additional thoughts.

Wife has an old reliable Xikar that she loves and it now has a fuel leak. They don't make them anymore so I reached out to them. Lighter is on the way to them and they will either fix it like new or replace it with a new model.
