whats the most reliable lighter?

[Bill86]

Honestly I don't think any lighter is the end all be all. Probably your best bet is grabbing dozens of Ronsons or http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4179 those. For the price of $2-$3 bucks you cannot beat either. I dunno I've had no problems with my Xikars but it's hard to argue the mass quanties you can buy those cheap and reliable lighters in. Probably should also make sure you're using good quality butane as well.
