What Xikar says about the Tactical Triple Jet Cigar Lighter :
The Xikar Tactical Triple Jet is a high-performance cigar torch that was engineered with long-lasting use in mind. The body is made from the toughest metal and is textured for superb grip. You’ll never need to wonder how much fuel is your torch because the oversized fuel window keeps you up to date on your butane levels. When you need to make adjustments to the wind-resistant jet flames, the large wheel at the base makes it simple. Ignition is made quick and easy by simply flipping open the top and sliding the smooth action trigger down. Back in the late nineties, XIKAR mixed stunning designs with the highest quality parts to provide the absolute best lighters as well as cigar accessories. All XIKAR products are backed with our lifetime warranty.
Our Thoughts on the Xikar Tactical Triple Jet :
I think the guys over at Xikar decided on the name “Tactical” for this torch because the body is textured and there is a belt clip on this lighter. For those of you who aren’t into belt clips, it cal be removed. Other than that, it’s a good torch. The flames are in-line and to be totally honest, I don’t know if I love it or hate the flame layout. There is nothing wrong with it, just…well the jury is still out on that subject. The adjustment knob at the bottom is big enough and is absolutely smooth. I also really like the large fuel window on the side of this torch.
It looks pretty tough and I do like the sliding trigger. It is pretty pricy at around $85, but it is a Xikar. I don’t care what anyone says I am a big Xikar fanboy because of their lifetime warranty.
Please be aware that butane torch lighters will ship without any fuel due to shipping regulations. Our recommendation is that you use high-quality butane that has been refined at least 3x. Check out our post on Butane For Torch Lighters for some quality fuel recommendations. We’ve also written a post on why butane quality matters that covers some pretty basic information on butane quality.
