I got my new Colibri, graciously replaced by customer service, and it worked great. Until it ran out of fuel. It only lit about a dozen cigars until both cartridges ran out. I was kinda thinking the cartridges would last a little longer than they did.

Oh well, I'm only out $7.

I have a Colibri I keep in my golf bag for the last 5 yrs.

As with any lighter """It's about the quality of the fuel you use in it """"

That is the problem, never enough fuel. Why can't they make one that is 90 % tank and and the rest just the burner and igniter ?

After a half-dozen expensive lighters, only one I've found that works consistently is a Bic.

And a box of matches.

Dude, you know you can refill those little tanks right? Pop the little black cover off the flame adjustment, and refill. No need to buy the replacement tanks

nope... heard they don't do well at higher altitudes. Also heard the high-altitude lighters don't work worth a damn either.

I did not know that. I just refilled it, although it kinda defeats the purpose of the lighter.

Actually that would be great, just get a halfdozen tanks, fill them all at one time, no refills for a while.

Get a torch from wall mart and screw it on a can of propane. Always lights and lots of fuel.
