Does anyone know of a good Table Top Lighter. I'm a Xikar sort of guy and know that they have a couple of good ones that offer the same beautiful lifetime warranty, but I'd like to expand my horizons and see what else is out there. It can either be a BUTANE soft flame or a BUTANE torch (double or triple). If you like single torch flames; do explain why (benefits). I have a Xikar Tech single that I love but that's not really a tabletop lighter (although it is much larger than the average torch). OH and on a side note, if the table top lighter came with a lifetime warranty that would be golden. Thanks.

I was gifted a Blazer like in your link for Secret Santa; I cannot recommend it enough. Works great on the deck/windy days. love it!
@BrewsBro13 : I have the black aluminum Blazer in the above link that I use for hobby purposes. For cigar lighting, it's inelegant but highly effective! One thing I do like about my Xikar Allume triple is that even though it's a tabletop lighter, it's small and smooth enough to put in your pocket. I wouldn't go golfing with it, but for a trip to the lounge it's perfect. (y) On the other hand, if you want practicality (albeit ugly), the aluminum Blazer is the way to go. The tank on that thing is HUUUUGE, so refills would be quite infrequent. But don't expect to be taking it on vacation.

I've heard good things about the Alec Bradley, I can't think of what it's called. You can't go wrong with Xikar though.
I have an Alec Bradley Burner, and I love it. My wife gifted it to me back in October or November, and I refilled it for the first time about 2 weeks ago. It's much smaller than you think, but it is good out on the deck when it's windy, and looks great on the table by my Stinky ashtray.

Is it really that good in windy conditions? Bryan Glynn did a review and he blew the flame out with his breath.

If you want wind resistance, you can open the fuel valve more, but I dont really tend to smoke cigars in gale force winds, either. It's more of a "fair weather" hobby for me.
