### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good, well featured lighter for a good price.
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2018*

The good: soft, wind resistant flame, and I love that it has a fuel gauge. Product seems to be sturdy/well built.That not-so-good: runs through fuel a bit quickly (needed refill after 2 weeks of normal use). Nice heft in my hand, but still a little heavy in my pocket.

    Does not light consistently

Does not light consistently.  Not worth trying to use it anymore.

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    What a disappointment!
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2023*

I carried a Xikar lighter every day in my pocket through all kinds of conditions: sweaty summer bike rides, harsh winter snow removal, camping trips, the workshop. In the rain. In the wind. Everywhere. I beat the crap out of it, and it lasted me for at least 15 years, a most impressive service life. Much longer than any other lighter I've ever had. It never let me down. Imagine how sad I was when it finally quit working recently. Given the amazing reliability, longevity, and efficacy of the recently retired lighter, it was a no brainer to try another Xikar product.I should have put more trust in the more critical reviews. It seems that this is a bad lighter or that Xikar has had a dramatic change in quality during the last 15 years.Overall, this lighter was a huge disappointment. I returned it. My quest for a new EDC lighter continues. I hope I can find one that's even half as good as the one that finally wore out. I fear that the bar has been set too high, ironically by the same company that didn't deliver on this one.This Forte is a pretty nice looking lighter, for sure. When I unpacked it, I immediately noticed a nice weight to it. Lots of metal pieces. It felt durable, with potential to last a good, long time. The punch stays in place very well, and there's little chance of accidental deployment. It's comfortable in the hand, and I didn't find it at all bothersome in my pocket.Then I filled it and tried to light it. Right out of the gate, I had about a 90% fail rate on getting it lit. Ridiculous for any lighter, especially a brand new one at this price point. I tried all the flame adjustment levels, it never really got any better. Once in a while, it would light on the first click. It usually took ten or more tries to get a flame.The flame. Sure, a hybrid flame sounds cool. I didn't care for it. There is no jet flame available at all. The soft flame blows right out. It relights more or less instantly, but I think in a steady breeze one would be unable to produce a flame with this lighter. Forget lighting a campfire in the wind. Or your charcoal grill.Maybe this lighter will suit your needs, but I found it to be unacceptable outside of fit and finish. A lighter has to do a lot more than look good, and the Xikar Forte does not deliver beyond that.
