Been smoking cigars and buying lighters since the early 90's. All seem to break or cease to work sooner or later. The first blazer's lasted less than a year, Colibris, had one final gave up and threw it away. All kinds of cheap china imports, lucky to last a week. Cheap chinese table torchs, working the best but the ignitor ceased to function. Zippo utility lighters aren't bad, but they have such a ridiculous safety feature, I hesitate to ever use it.
Now picked up 3 Ronson Jetlites. So far so good, but I'd like a three or two jet flame. Been looking at Xikar Enigma's and they have a great warrenty, but I'd like to not have to worry about sending it back. Are Duponts really any better??
Could it be my altitude here in Wyoming (5400 ft above sea level) that causes the malfunction?? Mostly either the ignitors die, or the jet flame "flames out" , with no amount of purging or adjusting making a difference.
Have a buddy with a Brunton Helios that seems to work well, but I heard from the local store that carries them that they have problems with altitude also. Fine here at 5300 ft, but for backpackers at 9000 or 11000 ft. they also have difficulty.
Any thoughts especially from high altitude residents???:cb
