Well I will try and make this short. I sent Colibri 3 lighters that just were in their shop several times for repair under warranty and out of warranty. I told them I know longer wanted them as they did not work anymore. They send me a bill for around $150. I send them another note stating that they miss understood me. I did not want the lighter anymore and they could keep their garbage. Well a few weeks later, the doors of Colibri shut down.

Today, I received my letter to them along with 3 new Colibri lighters stating that they want my business back and to accept the lighter to show my continued support for the Colibri's.

1 Colibri Triplex retail $100

2 Quantum Boss' Retail $90

Well thats what the stickers say on them. the Bosses are supposed to be the new Boss line and new and improved. Well time will tell. They all have a one year warranty with them.

I'll keep em for now. LOL

Colibri is to lighters what Italy is to cars.

Pretty to look at, but high maintenance and unreliable.

Colibri lighters work great if you use the right fuel. You need to get the 12X refined stuff.
