Re: My experience with lighters while on vacation.

I have a Xikar Executive and a handful of Ronsons. I was not able to find Ronsons at my local wal-mart, but picked up a bunch in NM and AZ when I went on vacation. I was skeptical that a $3 lighter would work as well as everyone said it would, but sure enough, it lights on every click. I gifted one to my buddy and my gf's dad and still have 4 left. I'm starting to regret not picking up more. My xikar seems to always need a refill and won't quite stay lit long enough to light a whole cigar. I think I'm going to let the xikar deteriorate a little more and I'll return it to the B&M I got it at for a replacement. That's the only reason I spent $25 on a lighter, the lifetime warranty. You really can't go wrong with the ronsons though. I think next I'm going to get myself a zippo and a z-plus insert.
