XIKAR Ion Now Shipping to Stores
The XIKAR Ion, a new double-flame torch lighter from Quality Importers Trading Co., is on its way to stores today.
The lighter debuted at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show in July and features a large, textured, push-button ignition, a style not commonly used on lighters. To adjust the dual flames, which are angled in towards each other to create a precise point, the Ion offers a large wheel on the base of the lighter, while a fuel window on one side of the Ion reveals how much butane is left in the tank.
That tank is said to be large enough to enable the Ion to light 80 cigars before needing to be refilled, according to a press release. For those at elevation, Quality Importers Trading Co. says the XIKAR Ion is altitude tested to 12,000 feet.
“The XIKAR® Ion was designed from the ground up, to be a robust and powerful lighter, that will satisfy the needs of every cigar smoker,” said Jimmy Miudo, executive vp of product design, sourcing and business intelligence for Quality Importers, via a press release. “Featuring an elegant design, the XIKAR® Ion provides a beautiful presentation, while not breaking the bank.”
The XIKAR Ion is priced at $69.99 and offered in five colors: red, blue, silver, black, and a black and rose gold combination. As with all XIKAR products, it is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

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.
