A few bucks more than others paid...but I think these are a new line...

Who would have thought to check the manufacturer's website...


Thanks!

Hey everyone I think I might order one of these just to try it out. It is a cheap triple flame lighter.

Picked up this "tabletop" model for a little under $5 - as functional as it is ugly, but I just keep it in the garage with my cooler...

That's very much like the one I have only I didn't know who made it. Mine doesn't have LED's and it's a single flame torch. I bought mind at the gas station and it works just fine. I like it alot.

I figure the one in the link is equally good only more flashy and obviously a more "top shelf" model.

my wife and I each have a Colibri Firebird - both working perfectly for 6 months now - $14.95

The Colibri I received as a "party favor" for a box-buy from JR just bit the dust after three months. I've had enough of the fancy-schmancy lighters... Time to go Ronson shopping!!

Ditto. My $32 Colibri lasted 6 months. My cheapie $4 cigarette store torch just now gave up the ghost after about 6 years.

Wife bought me a Xikar ($19) and we'll see how it does. So far, so good, but then I've only had it about a week. The fill is a little tricky, but it lights.

I own several triple torches but have found that I generally prefer a single flame. Triple torches do toast the foot of large RG cigars more quickly; however for touch ups the precision of the single flame is better.

If you do order the triple flame I recommend adding one of each of these to the order as well. They are dirt cheap and decent lighters.

Oh, and please post comments asking Kyle to add more lighters to their selection and hopefully they will carry more. They added two new ones this week; unfortunately they are both fugly.

It does generally take two full weeks for the order to arrive, but when shipping is free it is hard to complain..

I'm not a big fan of LEDs in lighters, and not so much because of the lights themselves, but because the lights + batteries + casings are taking up space that could be used for a bigger fuel tank which you will no doubt need on a triple flame

i've done group buys on Tiger lighters and i love them. i've been using tiger's for about 3 years now. sure they eventually wear out, but what doesn't? it usually takes about 18 months or so for them to really crap out and for $8 that's more than worth it.

I have one very similar to this with LEDs from 3-4 years ago. Finally starting to go but this thing was a jet engine. The good thing was the LEDs only lasted a month.
