XIKAR Adds New High Performance Butane
The next time you pick up a can of XIKAR’s butane, you’ll likely see a new can design, and within that can a new blend of butane that the company says will deliver enhanced lighter performance and could even extend the life of your lighter.
XIKAR’s new PUROFINE High Performance Premium Butane was initially created for use in high-altitude areas as a way to address the problems that come with getting butane to ignite over 6,000 feet in elevation, where there’s a lower amount of oxygen in the air.
This new blend is XIKAR’s purest to date, at less than 15 parts per million, and is the result of numerous trials in 20 different locations around the country. The company says it not only delivers impressive results at high elevations, but provides taller and stronger flames in lower elevations as well as helping rejuvenate lighters on their “last leg,” the company said in an announcement.
“The formula was developed to address the issue of difficulty lighting in high-altitude areas, and after further development, proves to be a beneficial resource when lighting at any elevation,” said Kurt Van Keppel, president of XIKAR.
It is being released in eight ounce/225 gram canisters priced at $12.99 per can, and is currently shipping to retailers nationwide. XIKAR’s original PUROFINE butane will continue to remain on the market.

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 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.
