This product was reviewed very well in a magazine I read. I think they overlooked a few things. I bought it specifically to use as a cigar lighter while playing golf. I know this is not the intended use of this product but the review I read recommended it as a cigar lighter. After about a month of use here are my observations and experiences.
Pros
-The strap and carbiner clamp allow me to easily attach it to my golf bag so I don't lose it like I was constantly doing with other lighters.
-The cap that goes over the torch end is very helpful to keep out dirt and moisture. ... Read More

I love the design of this lighter. It's built solid enough to use as a weapon, holds lots of butane and points an LED light at whatever you're trying to light at night - perfect for campfires. The dual flame type for wind resistance also burns the fuel more efficiently so it doesn't leave black smudges on glass or metal surfaces. It would be a great lighter IF it worked!! #1 worked for about a week before the LED light quit working, the switch stopped "clicking". I didn't send it back for repair, instead I cut back the rubber to jam the safety button to make it light easier, then ordered a new one. ... Read More

Rating: - It's Windproof, by the way
Got one for Christmas.. works well, though it does require a little effort to hit the 2 buttons in sequence to get it lit. I got it down but my wife hates that part, which probably makes it child and accident-proof.
The instructions mention that this is a windproof lighter.. at least if you keep blowing it out it will relight. That doesn't mean it will stay lit in high winds, but it will relight when the wind dies down as long as you are still holding the buttons.
The windproof-effect has something to do with 2 flame outlets.. the main orifice has a small glowing grille, ... Read More
Rating: - looks better than it works
built to last and priced well, but the ignition button is a bit hard to operate. the light feature is great though if your camping and its dark, having the light won't help you if you have trouble pressing the light button.
