I have had many lighters... I still have many lighters lol, but I just bought an Xikar Allume all the same:

Why:

- It's small - so I'll keep it on me. Just a bit smaller than a Zippo. So it'll fit in the pocket watch pocket in my jeans.
- When you put it in your pocket upside down, it deactivates.
- That guarantee. There is nothing worse than spending big bucks and then having to pay to fix it. Arg
- It was relatively cheap. $40.00: http://www.elighters.com/lighters-xi...-lighters.html
- it doesn't have a lid to get in the way.

I am hoping I like it. I like single flames. Triples and doubles are great - but the single touches up well and lends itself to smaller lighters for edc carry.


Good Luck.

I'll let you know what I think when I get it.
