I just took up this wonder hobby about 2 months ago. Since then i have been lighting my sticks with matches. I was wondering if you guys could recommend decent lighter. Thanks

Concur! After you buy this one - one that will work flawlessly for years -
then go out and buy a fancy Colibri that dies in two months.

Forgot to add.... DON'T buy a Colibri Firebird. Those things are junk. It worked for 5 lights then quit.

Top 3 lighters that I've used:
ST Dupont X-tend
ST Dupont Ligne 2
Blazer PB-207
Honorable mention goes to the Solo Trek / Blazer Venture (dual flames)

I've been using an old Zippo with the Blazer insert (about $10) with no problems.

I like the Colibri Firebirds, I have 4 of them and they all work everytime, most reliable lighters I have. Sometimes people misuse them and they stop working, but all I do is fill them up and they work everytime. Also like Nibo and Vector. I also have a Xikar Executive that is smaller but works well.

Dunhill or ST Dupont on the expensive end.
Any lighter that you can refill that uses a flint on the cheap end. Quartz lighters are hit and miss.
Stay away from Prometheus (sp) and Colibri.

:-) I have been using my Blazer insert for over a year, and I have not had one problem with it.

The ST Dupont X-tend for dress up and special events. Picture James Bond in black tie type lighter. Very expensive but hands down the best lighter I have ever owned.
For day to day use get a Blazer. I have the CG-001 and the Stratus. Love them both and use them every day. The CG-001 at home and the Stratus when I'm out and about. I fill my Stratus once a week and it seem to always last until the next refill. The CG-001 you can see the fluid level.
Watch for group buys. Good way to pick them up at a discount.

My X-tend has served me well for years. I just picked up a Blazer PB-207 and so far, so good.
