dang good lighter

Yes, I picked one up along with the double pouch thingy for when I'm out and want to look cool.

Amen brother. I gave a dozen of them out at an Xmas party SIX years ago and everyone is still using them. Wallyworld used to have them for $2...the last dozen I bought were $3.50 now at Wallyworld. Still the best deal going. And if/when they clog or burn themselves out, throw it away and buy another. I sent one to DHoppe as part of the noob trade - we'll see what he thinks.

Yes it WAS, TSA BASSURDS, hehe. NOw I can take my dayum pocketknife, though#-o

been eyeballing these as well, also have a few cheapies and jetlites.

Also a Xikar scribe/pen type that I like, and I agree on the warranty, hard to beat.

Got one for Christmas. Love it.

Yeah I had one flight where I left one of my older colibris in my pocket and had to debate giving it up or pay $25 to ship it home. $25 TSA donation later, I still have my lighter. They will let you ship regulars and torches home, so just a heads up you do have an option, but it's not cheap.

Back on topic - I like having a tri-flame with a punch built in cause I almost never forget my lighter but always forget a cutter/punch. Xihars seem to have flatter areas where it's better to engrave on them, but thats just my take.

I have.

I'm not into bling lighters so it took me actually using a friend's Palio lighter to see how well designed the lighter is. They are very nice and I know that Marc will stand behind them with the lifetime warranty if they have issues.

Other than that, I just use bics or the #4179 & #1455 $2 torches from DealExtreme. I also have a Blazer PB-207, great lighter, but the damn chain hangs up on everything in my pockets. Actually prefer the DX 4179 over it. Besides those, I have a number of other lighters, all of which are just varying levels of crap so they never get used.
