Review: Love it - My only gripe which turned out to be a better thing is that the image is wrong. I received the newest xikar lighter. I currently have the old style as pictured, but in green. I bought 3 as groomsmen gifts. I was kind of annoyed at first when I opened the box, but was happy when I clicked the lid open, no more little latch, but more like a zippo style lid. Filled up with xikar butane (which on my original they used ronsonol butane and it didnt work at all) and all three lighters lit up great. One of them seems to need adjustment because it actually puts out too much butane and the torch wants to burn out. Easy to adjust. I have been using the old version for 2 years now and loved it so much, that I am actually buying a 4th of the black new models right now. As far as wind and all that goes, it is what it is, there might be better, but I dont have issues with mine. I try to light whatever out of the wind anyways. Great for cigars, great for lighting up a fire starter for my chiminea, 4th of july punks, everyone always wants to borrow my lighter.
Review: Worked for 1 week. - I was pretty happy with the lighter for the first week. After the first week the flame became weak and the lighter was hard to start. I had to adjusting the flame setting to full just to get it to light but it still would go out and when it would fire it barely could get the cigars to light. I am using their fuel as well. I am waiting for a response from the seller to see if they will send me a replacement. For $30 I expected to last a little longer than a week. If the seller replaces the lighter I will let you know. (UPDATE) Sep 08 2012. Recieved my replacement lighter from Burn Wholesale (great company to do business with!) It works for now, hopefully I will get some use out of it. Do yourself a favor buy American buy a Zippo. I will soon.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it make noise when flicking?**
A: If by "flicking" you mean opening the top, then no, it makes no noise.  If you are referencing the act of pushing the button to light the flame, then yes, it clicks then sounds like a normal jet lighter.

**Q: Will this lighter work after being completely submerged in water?**
A: Not sure if it will work after being submerged in water, however, if PREMIUM BUTANE FUEL is used, you should have no problem with this lighter working 100% if the time! I own several of these lighters.. PREMIUM BUTANE FUEL MUST BE USED!!! Not the junk you see at the grocery store checkout lanes.

**Q: Will this work above 12,000 feet elevation?**
A: I’ve had it to 10,500 feet with no issues

**Q: Is this travel friendly? will it pass tsa on a carry-on?**
A: I seriously doubt it. Still has a combustible inside it. Really good lighter though! 👍🏻

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This has been a good, reliable lighter for me.
*by J***L on October 25, 2025*

I have seen a lot of poor reviews for this lighter. My unit worked well our of the box and it has continued to work well for 3 years. I have owned or been gifted a lot of lighters and some very pricey ones (eg Colibri) have not held up well at all. Very few of my many refillable lighters last more than a year or two. For a while I resorted to cheap disposable non-refillable ones. However, this one has been good. I suspect the problem might be initial quality control, as the complaints have been for a new unit, and not that they failed after using a while. This has been a good purchase for me.
