I bought the plasma lighter looking for an efficient cigar lighter, turbo flame lighters always crap out. The plasma lighter has so far been a wind-proof cigar lighter and, being just a bit bigger than a Bic, it's easy to carry.
My real question is how durable, long-lived will it be as an everyday lighter. Due to my experience so far I believe it will make a great fire-starter. I like it.
The flashlight function is a valuable bonus...
