Xikar ELX Double Jet Flame Lighter with 9mm Cigar Punch, Ergonomic Design, Vintage Bronze

The Xikar Lighter Element ELX Black WGunmetal receives a mixed reception from customers. While some appreciate its sleek design and convenient features such as the built-in punch, others are less impressed with its performance and durability. One common complaint is the small fuel tank, which some customers feel does not justify the price of the lighter. Additionally, there are reports of the flames not Consistently reaching the desired height and fuel leakage from the valve. Some users also find the flame adjustment to be in an inconvenient location, leading to erratic flames if their finger rests on it during lighting. On the positive side, customers appreciate the overall look and feel of the lighter. It is described as great looking and feeling good in the hand, making it a popular choice among cigar smokers. However, the durability of the finish is a significant concern for several customers. Many note that even with careful handling, scratches and signs of wear become visible after just a few months of use. This wear is particularly noticeable in the black and gunmetal finishes, revealing a different color underneath. In conclusion, the Xikar Lighter Element ELX Black WGunmetal offers an average performance for its price. While it has some convenient features and a stylish appearance, its small fuel tank, issues with flames and fuel leakage, and lack of durability in the finish detract from its overall appeal.
