For realz?

My Colibris work like champs. Try talking sweet to them and not cursing.

I bought one of the Guiness lighters they make, it works very well for me..
I hope it doesn't stop working or apparently I'll be screwed..

Good! Maybe now newbs won't be jipped into buying these pieces of crap! Only one I ever had died within months.....no matter how much I weaked it, never came back to life. That was a long time ago......

This is not a huge surprise. Colibri probably repaired as many lighters as they produced.

I much prefer vector and lotus.

Well that sucks, I guess if any of my 4 or so that work flawlessly everytime break down like everyone else's I will have to get something new.

An interesting note is that Colibri had the Dupont repair contract. I wonder what's going to happen with that...
