This lighter offers dual flames, for nice slow toasting of cigars. The flames are wide and tall to accommodate even the largest ring gauges. It’s major drawback is the small fuel supply and no fuel window. 4 lights per fill is average.

I covered that in the video - if you relax your grip it can happen.

The Firebird series is the only Colibri I would even consider owning. I would never buy one but if somebody gave it to me, I would use it. The least expensive Colibiri's actually last much longer. We average about 3 Colibri returns a week. God, they suck!

"4 lights per fill is average."

That's just down right terrible!

I was gifted an original Firebird, and once I took the "govenor" off it works great and has a flame much more appropriate for lighting a cigar.

I've had a few Colibri's Lighters over the years and none have Impressed me yet.
I still grab my Blue Rino from Heartfelt when I need to light my cigar.

I haven't Given up on Colibri yet, I still like the designs they put out.

I agree 4 lights is really low, If you want a great Lighter pick up a blazer :-)
All the cool kids have one "Except me" One of these days I will pick one up :-)

Their is a reason they went under, they suck ass.

Yes 4 lights as I mention is low. But you have to remember this is 2 minutes of total lighting time. Don't compare that to using a torch, which would translate to 15+ lights. Apples and oranges.
