Review on Clear Xikar Stratosphere II High Altitude Lighter: Single Jet Flame, Windproof, Ergonomic Design For Durability And Dependability by Sadik Pinger

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Too awesome best in my review

I smoke cigars, sometimes at high altitudes (5-12k) around the Sierras. This lights is great for most of that, but tends to need a couple clicks to light above 7k. Can be harder closer to 10k, and haven't tried it above that yet. Otherwise this works great and I can't imagine using Bics anymore. The torch effect is windproof and focused enough to do emergency soldering and shrink-tubing on electronics repair. I refill every couple weeks, and might smoke or use the lighter about 5 times a day -- always set to high.

Pros
  • Lighters
Cons
  • The lighter may be too loud when ignited, causing annoyance to others
