I have had numerous inexpensive as well as very expensive lighters in the last 20 years. I can say without doubt this lighter is by far and away the most functional and well designed and built lighter I have ever owned. I wish I would have bout this brand years ago. I have purchased their butane for years now and I have found nothing better on the market. I figured, if they go out of their way to make the purest butane maybe they did the same with their lighters. Not inexpensive, but a quality piece of work. As far as durability... time will tell. That is why I did not check the stars for durability. I haven’t owed it long enough to make a valid judgement. Skeet in Oregon Read more
Loved it when it arrived. Worked well for 5 months. Stopped working. The top door does not open when the thumb switch is pulled down. If the door would open the lighter would work. It does not, so the lighter is a paper weight now. Since 25% of customers find the lighters stopped working, why would I or anyone else buy another? Be Warned! Read more
Finicky adjuster but it works well when it does use xikar butane in the black can! Read more
Great lighter, lasts a while. Only problem is that the middle panels started moving around after a few weeks Read more
Impossible to turn flame adjustment wheel because it's way way too tight and will not spin at all even with pliers. Wheel is also made of plastic (because that's what you deserve for a $50 lighter) A clear and complete lack of any quality assurance and a waste of $50, do not buy. I will not be buying Colibri lighters again. Read more
I wanted to update my review, but I could not find the original. The issue I was having from what I gathered is I was trying to put too much butane in the lighter and fill it all the way to the top of the marker. I don’t recommend this maybe 3/4 of the way is fine. I think overfilling it will cause it not too light. Maybe too much pressure. So basically I released a lot of the butane and it works fine now!

Beautiful lighter but once again, purchased new and received a lighter with butane in it straight out of the box which tells me it’s used. Read more
This was a gift and the receiver loved it. He said is just short of the flame thrower on TikTok. LOL. It is refillable and reliable. Read more
