Not the official website, but certainly every make and model:

I know this is a bit off-topic, but since I couldn't afford a Lotus Elise, a couple of years ago, I settled for the closest thing I could afford. A Toyota Matrix XRS with the VVTL-i engine, which is the same engine they put in the Elise. Hell of a fun car. Rather ironic the topic comes up now. 48 hours ago, I totaled my Matrix on the freeway. First time I've ever been in an accident. Thankfully no one was injured (I don't even have a bruise, amazing safety design).

They only made the XRS with that engine for four years. I'm really gonna miss that car.

I've got both the Xikar Element and Executive.

I've only had them for about 2 months but I have not had a bad experience with either of them. And Xikar has a lifetime warranty on their lighters just as they do their cutters. My only complaint was that the Element didn't come with a leather case like the Executive did.

I paid $15 for the Executive on CBid and I picked up the Element for $30 (Cheapest Site I found) here:

The element is a really nice lighter, double torch, fuel level window, and fires up first try every time.

Thanx Jeff I think that I'll pick one of these up and give it a try.
