My pal was calling CI anyway so he asked about the Diesel-branded Turrim. The rep went on hold to check to make absolutely sure, then returned and said yes, it has the lifetime warranty. She said it's a real Xikar Turrim like any other (including XIKAR being engraved right on the metal body), it's just in a different color scheme. Warranty does apply, forever.
He didn't ask about the X4 cutter, but I really don't care as I got it free anyway.
By the way, the deal where you get a Diesel-branded Turrim with Diesel boxes is gone. Today they switched it to some more conventionally-designed, smaller, lamer single-torch Diesel-branded lighter that's "3D -by- Xikar", NOT worded as "Xikar 3D", plus the "3D" model is found nowhere on Xikar's site. I'll guessing it does NOT have the lifetime warranty like the Diesel-branded Turrim does.
Sure glad I got several of that Turrim deal when it was still active! They even have the EZ-view (or whatever it's called) fuel window where the butane appears to be red, with the background being clear! Neat (and patented) trick, based on refraction. But IIRC it's a relatively new feature, which tells me the Diesel-branded Turrim must be a recent development.
Anyway, there ya go, there's the info. Hope it helps somebody!
