I just recently purchased a box of the MAXX from Famous and they have a pretty good deal going.
Besides the free shipping they throw in the Burner, a very nice little tabletop
lighter.
So last night I thought I would try it out in the doghouse(my garage).
The pictures I have seen of this made it look big(to me), but it is really small.
Bout 3 in. high.
On to the preformance....
I filled it with Vector 5x filetered fluid and let it set at the recommended 2 min. to stablize, it has a a valve on the bottom, but what is really cool you can control the burn via a knob you turn on it!! Turn the knob and pull the trigger style striker a bam!! You have a flame that you can REALLY control the height and temp.! Great for toasting and touch ups, and best of all, you don't have to hold a button or trigger after the inital strike, just turn the knob to the off position and the flame goes out.
Anyway, Famous says this is a 69.99 value(I would'nt pay that much for it), but it is a nice lighter and it keeps me from packing my other lighters outside and risk losing them.
Just thought I would share.

I was actually going to make one of these things to light my cigar but they came out this wonderfully handy and effective things. I just love it and will be sending one to a friend of mine. It was actually hard to find at first because of the ubiquitous name.

Yea, when I saw the ad, the lights looks HUGE! And then when I really saw it, I was surprised at how small it is. But all in all, it's not a bad deal - how was the MAXX? I've been curious about that cigars.

I received one as a gift about a week and a half ago.

What impressed me the most was the big broad lower temperature flame (that is compared to the temperature of a torch lighter) that made it so effortless to get a very easy, even burn on a cigar.

I'm gonna enjoy mine! Not sure I'd spring $45 for another one (at least that's the price I'm seeing from a few vendors, CI incl., BTW), but I will take it with me when I'm herfin' with the homies.*

*Hear that you S.H.I.T. Herfers!! I'll be seeing you Saturday!

I just got one from Famous last week. It has turned into my favorite lighter. Nice big blue flame. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good tabletop lighter.

The MAXX is a good smoke, I like them after about a 6 month nap. Seems to bring out the flavors better than when they are "fresh".

BTW, I have the Burner too and use it all the time. Great product.

The B&M near my apartment has one out for customers to use. Great lighter, I love using it when I'm there. If I were allowed to smoke inside, I would pick one up in a flash.

The Burner is my favorite table lighter. I love the wide blue flame that thing puts out.

Wow, nice lighter, will have to look for one of these soon, thanks for the tip

Greenwit · 05-25-2008, 06:29 PM

The only negatives IMO are.....not wind resistant (won't go out but will blow all over the place) and you can't see the flame outside. Which is why I toast my sticks inside before venturing out and take a standard size torch with me.

My wife has been wanting a creme brulee set for a while now. I found her a nice one at a good price at World Market. The only problem is that I have now commandeered her creme brulee torch as my new lighter!
