Personally I own some duponts but also some vectors and just cheap stuff that’s given to me. That being said I do like DuPont a lot and the fact my boss has one that’s older than me without being serviced tells me it’s worth it. I get how people can hate but as mentioned we do buy expensive things people would think are stupid! I buy what I want if I can afford it…I also work for a cigar store so at my price it makes things a tad easier to swallow
I just bought two of these. One to light my Opus and one to light my Davidoff. They came with a warning label that said "Warning! This lighter can not fix the tarring issues associated with Opus X. If used in a social setting, you may be anointed King Dooooshbahg, King of all pretentious A-holes" I would say on the whole, a total win!

Large and cheap. Even if one is DOA the price is right.
Hard to beat cheap Chinese lighters.
Also +1 on bleeding when refilling.
Cleaning with compressed air helps too.
There is a minimal amount of maintenance on lighters

This is the way.
I have never tried that, but it makes a lot of sense. I usually just use compressed air, I've used Nitro Solvent on stubborn jets, but I like the butane idea. It would save a lot of time and effort.

Guaranteed to light.

In case this was not common knowledge, Xikar was bought out a few years ago.

Well hopefully the cutter I got in eBay will hold up.
The obstacle is the way.

Also how its made
Funny how, no matter what ignites the flame, the fuel is more important than then vessel. Sounds like someone making up for a short coming.
The lighters I’ve gotten for free have all performed better and still work.
Thanks for the video. Very interesting.

Same could be said about the character of a man 🤙🏼
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

Cheap lighters ignite a cigar or pipe just like the very expensive ones. If you’re a collector then by all means spend away.

I learned that trick here years ago.
I have a few expensive lighters, but end up grabbing my 8$ lighter more commonly.
I know a couple of heavy hitters on here that light their cigars off of 100 dollar bills when the DuPont just won't do.
Who doesn't use a good Benjamin spill to light a Royal Courtesan?
