Every single colibri product I've ever owned is in my junk drawer. 3 years later, my first xikar lighter is going strong. Colibri costs more than xikar in most cases. I tried to send a couple products back for repair and the quote was more than the purchase price on all 3. I stand by Xikar. Just bought two more lighers for some friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060961796959484184.post-91660589613290820282010-06-24T08:30:16.236-05:002010-06-24T08:30:16.236-05:00What about my post made you think that I like to c...What about my post made you think that I like to complain about cheaper products? That is a foolish statement. Price is not indicitive of quality. And Xikar, while nice products, are over priced. You can pay less for the same or better quality elsewhere.Dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060961796959484184.post-67270346132700652382010-06-23T11:37:29.894-05:002010-06-23T11:37:29.894-05:00Well Doug some times when you want the best you ha...Well Doug some times when you want the best you have to pay for it. You seem like the type of person that buys the cheaper product then would complain when it doesn't work properly. True Lotus and Colibri both make cutters but "better"? That's what makes American the best we're allowed a difference of opinion.Skipchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376067139880766974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060961796959484184.post-30694260152309469332010-06-07T16:18:32.709-05:002010-06-07T16:18:32.709-05:00I think XIKAR products are over priced and over ra...I think XIKAR products are over priced and over rated. You can get the same items much much less. For example, Cigar Caddy is much better than the Xtreme box, and Lotus and Colibri both make better cutters. Xikar is so old school and stupid expensive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060961796959484184.post-44698131232210164532010-05-20T07:48:30.140-05:002010-05-20T07:48:30.140-05:00RW, I think you captured the spirit of XIKAR's...RW, I think you captured the spirit of XIKAR's products and life time warranty.
