Review on Experience The Ultimate Lighting Performance With Xikar PUROFINE High Altitude Butane Fuel Refill - 1.9Oz by Mike Ramani

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Butane DOES make a difference!

I had been using a can of Zippo branded butane in my lighters for years to light my cigars. I decided to try out this "High Performance" stuff on a whim and I was shocked by the results. I've tried in in several lighters ranging from a $13 triple torch I bought years ago to a beautiful new Xikar Allume Double that was $60. This butane makes a much more consistent and powerful flame with each lighter.I had two lighters that I was convinced were dead or dying and they would spit butane and not consistently light. Bleeding them of the Zippo stuff and refilling them with this Xikar butane changed that instantly.Be careful though this is makes your lighter a flamethrower if you keep it set to a high setting. All of my lighters are set as low as they can go and still put out a great flame.

Pros
  • This fuel makes even balky, old lighters work reliably. Excellent stuff.
Cons
  • Fuel quality can be inconsistent, leading to problems with lighter performance
