"Great lighter"
I have been using this lighter for years for traveling mostly since soft flame is the only lighter you can bring on a plane. Great built, solid weight and very well made. Only down side is the very small butane tank. I find my self out of fuel after a 5 cigars sometimes 4 depending on use. I smoke robusto and churchill so no 60s.

"Beautiful lighter!"
This lighter is absolutely stunning, the dual soft flame is great for lighting cigars or pipes, however, its pretty much an indoor only lighter. It really is not all that wind proof, a pretty soft breeze will put it out though positioning of the lighter to the wind can make a difference however, none of that really matters as if the breeze does not put it out, it will cause the two flames to split and wave about in a somewhat unpredictable manner making it extremely difficult if not impossible to light or toast a cigar with, and although one may have better luck with a pipe as its a bit more shielded, I would imagine it would be much easier to accidentally scorch your bowl. All that being said, if you have the budget, and are looking for a very nice soft flame lighter for indoor smoking, this one is hard to beat! It is honestly very similar to the Xikar flint fire II, however has the dual flame that is pointed out at an angle rather than straight up, and just a little big larger and heavier all positives for me I do think the Colibri takes just a bit more force on the striker to light than the flint fire, but not enough to be of any concern.

"Amazing lighter"
It has an awesome feel when you grab it. soft flame is strong dual frame that looks really nice. This isnt an outdoor wind proof lighter, but outside of the extreme its amazing. actually even in the very cold it performs great where my jet lighters cant even light up. Prissy but worth every penny.
