Beautiful storm lighter gas (butane) Xikar home with regular yellow and not blue flame torch type. Very good feeling at the opening and closing of the valve (with manual spring mechanism). The flame goes off by pressing the silver button. Recharging takes place from below with a gas can (traditional cap). The wheel that surrounds the charging port can regulate the flame size. Outdoors, I recommend to put up in windy facilitate ignition. A metal filament is located at home and flame flickers a fire, producing a beautiful effect "reactor" to use. Much more convenient (windproof), economic (4/5 gas canister for twenty reloads) and ecological (no useless plastic as with disposable pens). The only flaws I found him a bit too are its large size and the lack of window to see the amount of remaining gas.
