XIKAR Adding First Flat Flame Lighter, Reducing High Performance Butane Price
Flat flame lighters have been part of the cigar accessories landscape for a while, but now one of the best-known names in the industry is releasing its first entry.
At next week’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, XIKAR will show off the Verano Flat Flame lighter, which the company says provides the power of a double flame with the breadth of a triple, which in turn helps maximize fuel efficiency. It is being offered in four colorways: black, silver, G2 and vintage bronze.
Pricing is set at $79.99.
Speaking of fuel, XIKAR is expanding its High Performance Premium Butane offerings, while also lowering the price.
As a result of the acquisition of XIKAR by Quality Importers, the company has been able to leverage its better buying power and passing the savings on to customers. While an 8-ounce can of the butane used to sell for $12.99, that is dropping to $9.95. The company is also adding a 1.9-ounce can that will retail for $5.95.
The fuel is designed to perform better at altitudes but in particular at higher elevations, while also burning cleaner and hotter than standard butane.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
