Soft Flame Black Gold Flint Wheel Butane Refillable Gas Metal Lighter

I was looking for a side strike lighter that wasn't cheaply made with a price hike, came across this and pulled the trigger. That was a good decision! This lighter is well made and has been through a few refills now and still no issues whatsoever. It's hefty in the hand, not too large or too small, the corners aren't sharp, and the toolless design for adjusting the flame is a cut above the rest. It works well for cigars and pipes alike. I only use Colibri butane after having issues with other brands of butane and other lighters, so refilling is super quick and easy. The black and gold is a nice contrast. I had no idea it's a loolalike to a $300 lighter!

It has cool smooth enamel and attractive gold tone a look that I would be proud to show off when lighting a date's medicine, It has heft. It was made with precision. The flint wheel easy sturdy action. The flint and filler screws had tight little fold up handles. Looked like, felt like an inexpensive rival to a Dunhill. Except it doesn't work! After I filled it and tried to light it I didn't hear any gas escaping from the tiny hole. In fact when I opened the flint screw a burst of gas escaped. When I was young "made in Japan" meant cheaply made. Today we have China.

This lighter is a high quality product that doesn't break the bank .. it's already my favorite lighter because its functionality is superb.. the flame dial is practical and easy to manipulate which ensures your cigars get the perfect toast every time. There is also a completely closable port for refills. And lastly the aesthetic properties are impressive. I deeply enjoy this obsidian and gold styles and textures of this miraculous piece. It feels really good in the hand and fits well in my coat pocket too.

Looks beautiful on the outside, has a nice heft to it, and the lighting mechanism is flawless. But it falls short with the flame. It simply does not have a reliable flame height, and the adjusting mechanism barely does anything. When completely full the flame is great, but after a few uses the flame is so short it’s nearly useless until refilled.

This is a really beautiful lighter I'm very excited about it. My only complaint is that there is absolutely ZERO instructions in English about this in the user's manual. How am I supposed to change out the flint? I can't read Chinese. If it had directions in English easy 5 star lighter nice and heavy you can feel the quality!!!

Anyone who says this lighter feels cheap is flat out lying. And that some folks who have never used a proper refillable butane lighter are frightened by the whiff of butane is sheer Idiocy. Otherwise, the wheel ignites in only ONE direction and the flint it comes with is hard on the thumb but put in another flint and All is Good:-) I have used it a dozen or so times every day for almost three months - it ALWAYS LIGHTS THE FIRST TIME - and I've only had to refill the butane ONCE. But gas flows when the lid is open, so if you are gonna fool with it to hear the "Dink" your mileage will deservedly vary. (BTW, I almost NEVER give Five Stars but so far this excellent lighter has earned it. I will edit this review if it fails me in the future.)

I'm a cigar smoker and this lighter had gotten me so many compliments... not to mention it works....I mean I don't know what else to say, it looks great and functions well the only negative at least at first is getting used to the flame since if you have it too high it this lighter will definitely use all your fluid.Granted it will look dope as hell but wildly inefficient aside from that just keep the flame to a level that works and enjoy

This lighter looks beautiful and feels decent in the hand.Added some butane and was excited to spark it up.I had to try sparking it about 15 times just to get it sparking at all...but the flame wouldn't light.Finally after a few dozen tries, it lit alright, with a huge fireball that burned the hair off both of my hands.Wish I was kidding, but I'm not. This lighter is extremely dangerous.
