About This Product

The XIKAR EX Windproof Lighter offers an alternative to the concentrated heat of a conventional torch lighter, combining a broad flame with a wind-resistant burner design. A protective windshield surrounds the flame and channels airflow to help maintain reliable performance outdoors while retaining a gentler lighting style well suited to cigars.

Electronic ignition provides straightforward operation, while a large adjustment wheel makes flame control easy. An integrated fuel-level window lets you monitor the remaining butane at a glance. For cigar smokers who prefer the feel of a traditional flame but want greater resistance to breezy conditions, the EX bridges the gap between soft-flame and torch-style lighters.

Care & Maintenance
  • Wipe the exterior regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints, dust and surface residue.
  • Keep the burner, windshield and surrounding air passages clear of tobacco particles, ash and pocket lint.
  • Use good-quality purified butane to help maintain reliable ignition and consistent flame performance.
  • Check the burner periodically for visible debris without inserting pins or other objects into the openings.
  • Keep the ignition control and flame-adjustment wheel free from accumulated dirt so they continue to operate smoothly.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals that could damage the exterior finish.
  • Store the lighter clean and dry, away from excessive heat.
Safety & Handling
  • Keep the lighter out of reach of children.
  • Point the burner away from the face, clothing and other people when igniting.
  • Refill away from flames, sparks and other ignition sources.
  • Allow the windshield and burner area to cool after repeated or prolonged use.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and temperatures above 50°C.
  • Never puncture, burn or otherwise damage the pressurised lighter body.
  • Ensure the flame is fully extinguished before carrying or storing the lighter.
