The Colibri E3 immediately feels like a serious tool rather than a novelty lighter. The triple jet flame lights cleanly with a single press and stays stable even outdoors, which makes a noticeable difference when lighting larger ring gauge cigars. The angled torch design is genuinely practical. It keeps your fingers away from the heat and gives better visibility during touch-ups. The gunmetal finish looks understated and durable, not flashy, and the weight feels balanced in the hand. Flame adjustment is easy and precise, and refilling is straightforward. Fuel consumption is higher than a single jet lighter, as expected, but that is the tradeoff for fast, even ignition. This is best suited for cigar smokers who value reliability and control rather than something ultra compact. Read more

This E3 lighter is a metallic red color with a gunmetal trim which makes it stand out from the basic colors. The flame adjustment is easily accessed using the bottom turn dial, and there's a fuel window. Has a triple frame great when you happen to encounter a windy environment . This arrived in a presentation box (wouldn't call it a gift box), this is a solid aluminum lighter and you can see the detail that went into creating this lighter. You push in the backside button and the lid lifts up and the triple flame ignites on an angle, to not burn the lid. There is not a lock on this lighter. I would have thought given the cost of this lighter that the instruction booklet would have actually referenced this lighter, but it doesn't it's a generic instruction manual and the images are not even related to this lighter. On the bottoms it's engraved with "Designed in NYC", but it's made in China. Read more
