Colibri lighters now have a great guarantee. Their makers decided to change the warranty policy. Starting August 1, 2007, the warranty of Colibri lighters has changed significantly. From one year of the original date of purchase, the mechanisms of Colibri lighters are warranted to be free from mechanical defect under normal use. It is a wonderful thing that the Colibri Lighter Company is standing behind its products.



The Catch

However, this warranty does not apply to the outer finish of the lighter's casing. If repairs are required during the warranty period, owners of Colibri lighters must return the particular unit to any authorized Colibri dealer along with the original sales slip. If that particular dealer cannot fix the problem, the dealer will replace it with the exact same model. The warranty was also retroactive up to a year before August 1. The purchaser just had to have the original sales slip.

This is a wonderful gesture by the makers of Colibri lighters. It is also a bold statement. They are making goods for disposal and not for repair. That ups the ante in terms of competition. It is actually unheard of since no other lighter company offers such protection once the lighter has left the store.

The Lighter

Of course, Colibri lighters are exceptionally reliable anyway. They have made a name for themselves with their elegance and style. Each lighter must pass very rigid quality control tests that ensure that a buyer gets the very best in lighter technology. That technology is illustrated in Colibri's Quantum system. This is a great revolution for butane lighters. This system conserves butane which extends the time between refills. From its first automatic lighter in 1928, Colibri has been a leader in lighter technology. Eighty years later, they are still leading the way with such innovations as beam sensors, multifunction lighters, cigar lighters, sport lighters, and other great smoking accessories.

But be aware about the fact that you are also responsible for taking care of your butane lighters. You can do this with Colibri brand butane. Most butane lighters fail after a month or two. Oftentimes, the reason is because they are used with low grade butane. One day, they will just sputter and fail to light, despite releasing fuel and showing a visible spark. So use good butane religiously and you should have no problems. You will maximize the use of your Colibri lighter.

The Gift

Get your friend a Colibri lighter. He will love you for it. With a long history of quality and excellence, these lighters make great gifts. Just make sure about the fuel used with it and the recipient will have reliable lighter for a good length of time. With the new warranty, they have become even better buys. Colibri has really put their money where their mouths are and consumers are benefiting. No more waiting for repairs that will probably be stopgap measures. Any defects? Get a new Colibri lighter for no charge. That is a great deal any way that you think about it.
