Lighter help
I have searched all over the place, read a lot and now I cannot make a decision. I want to purchase a lighter, but I am stuck. Can a newb get a little guidance on choosing between a Lotus 2 and a ST Dupont X-Tend? I hope I can get the reasoning behind the responses to this dilemma. Thanks in advance.

Re: Lighter help
I know nothing about the Lotus but know several who love their X-tends. Being a cheap bastage I'd opt for the less status symbol PB-207 and a damn nice box of smokes.

The PB-207 might not look pretty but the one that was given to me works like a charm and I have had Zero problems with it. Buddy of mine has the Lotus and likes it a lot.

Frank hit the nail on the head. I have both the Lotus and the Blazer PB-207 and I hardly use the Lotus. It is a VERY well made, substantial feeling lighter, but the Blazer's fuel capacity trumps all other lighters I have used. I have looked at the X-tend series and it looks like a fine lighter too. I guess it comes down to personal preference. I used to care about looks and feel, but now it is just about performance. Blazer/Prince wins.
Let us know what you pick.

Re: Lighter help
I have come to the conclusion that all torch lighters are sometimes difficult, but I can pretty much rely on the X-tend I got last year on Cbid. The Lotus, I don't know.

If funds for sticks are the goal, why not any Zippo case with a Z-Plus insert? The thought of a $60 or a $165 lighter dying or being lost is a big disincentive for me. Zippo cases are very reasonable and classic in design and you could even replace a few inserts and still be way ahead of the game.

Re: Lighter help
I went with the PB-207. $20 dollars and good reviews settled it for me.

Ha Ha Ha!!!!! The on going joke at the shop is, when someone comes in and buys a higher priced Colibri, we give them a box of wood matches with it......
