Colibri Lighters

I had a lot of trouble with my Colibri. Then I adjusted the flamb level and It has worked like a charm since. I would say for the price give it a try.
 
Nothing but trouble from the ones I've used-save the Talon of which I had two. One is still with me and working fairly well after 2 plus years of hard service.
 
It's a Firebird lighter by Colibri and sold in a display unit of 6 or 12 pieces (you can buy 1 lighter). The item number is the UJF 1100 series "Thunderbird" and comes in different colors of leather wrap (at least brown and black).

Does anybody have experience with the one that ir wrapped in leather? CI sells them with their logo on them, but I've found them else where with the Colibri logo on them.

I've been wanting one for a while, problem is I've heard a lot of mixed comments on these lighters and don't want to shell out the money for one (as it would be the only thing I would be ordering I'm going to get bent on shipping) if they are crap.

I've been using a gas station torch (its an Animal House edition :ss) for some time now and have never had a problem with it and all its $3 of glory.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I have that lighter (bought off the devil site). It works great. The only problem I have w/it is it doesnt hold much fuel.
 
The Thunderbird is a pretty good lighter and considering it's a low end model it's more than worth the money. Just use the recommended fuel and you shouldn't have any problems with it.

It's pretty easy to fill as long as you bleed the air out of the tank before refilling and while the tank is smallish for a cigar smoker it still shouldn't be a pain. It has a cover for the burner area (it opens automatically when igniting the lighter and closes when the switch is released) that helps keep out dust and dirt so to bottom line it, I'd recommend you give it a try.

Even if you were to have a problem you can't figure out you always take it to the place you bought it and they'll replace it for free.
