Product: Lighters Kiribi Kabuto Mizo Silver
Several years ago purchased a pair of this lighter... along with flints. Gifted one to a close friend ... and have used mine DAILY. No issues what so ever. Finish is still perfect.

I am not a big reviewer of products but this one is so exceptional. I like many of us have spent a fortune on high end lighters and i must say this is better quality than even the corona I had

Screws may need attention in the beginning, but should settle over time. Per fill, will last noticeably longer than any other lighter you've owned, yet weighs enough to make you think it's solid steel. Will make you feel like you're in one of those p... Read More

The Kiribi Kabuto Mizo Silver lighter shares a special spot in my pipe cabinet right next to my Peterson Silver Stripe Pipe Lighter. Being that the Kiribi Kabuto is a bit more efficient with it's winged cap toggle, making it very easy to flip and str... Read More
ike, this gem is the one that I reach for more often than not. The cap flips open by simply placing a small amount of pressure on the winged toggle. A quick flip to the cap and a strike to the flint wheel and BOOM! You got fire! I highly recommend this lighter to anyone who's looking the Old Boy look with ease of use. Read Less
A+ on quality, and function

This is an initial review for the Kabuto Mizo Silver. I only received it yesterday, but immediately filled it with butane, and got familiar with the mechanics of the lighter, flint tension rod, etc. This is my first "old boy" style lighter. I have o... Read More
wned a few high end Cigar torch lighters (colibri and Zikar). This lighter, the Kabuto feels extremely well made, its sleek, and the perfect size for a pocket lighter. It fired right up on my first, and few attempts after that, and I adjusted the flame (it came all the way up like a blowtorch, so may want to keep that in mind when you receive yours.
I will be using this as my daily pipe lighter. If it stops working, or I encounter any issues with it, I WILL follow up, but until then, I am very happy with my decision to purchase this lighter.
4/22 - 1 month follow up. Great lighter, and very happy with my purchase. I swear on all that is holy that I am still going on the initial tank of butane from when I received the pipe. I do not smoke everyday, but just about every other day, and some days a few. All depends on my mood. I have used this lighter for every one of those sessions, and it is still going on that first tank, and functions great. usually lights on the first strike, but if not, definitely the second! the flame is getting smaller though, so I know it will be time for a refill soon. You cannot go wrong with this lighter. its a looker, and a performer! Read Less

Living with my Kiribi lighter for a few months I have a more realistic opinion.
The finish on the lighter is not nearly as good as IM Corona Old Timer. Not even close. The chrome finish on IM Corona is top. Kiribi? Not so good.

Fine lighter. This Kiribati is replacing a 17 year old im Corona pipe lighter that still works but needs attention. The Kiribi has a larger tank for sure which is a plus and appears well made!
BTW, I rated the Kiribi as five stars but only 4.6 app... Read More

Have had for two years as my only pipe lighter using for 5-7 bowls per week. Works great. Does not like to be dropped - the top came off and I was able to reattach with epoxy. Later the "kabuto" hinge ceased to keep the "lid" down on the burner cl... Read More
ose enough and gas can leak out. Overall a very nice lighter.
UPDATE: Removing the screw that holds the Kabuto "flip top" I was able to clean the "high tech" hinge. The "flip top" now holds down the burner better than before. Not sure if the soot or just the tinkering fixed. Read Less

So far the lighter works consistently in light winds and is very receptive to polishing
Best Ever Pipe Lighter

Product: Lighters Kiribi Kabuto Mizo Silver
This Kabuto is a great tool.
Trouble free and goes forever without re-filling. My only gripe is that the Mizo Silver finish is a little too slippery. I'll likely order one of the other Kiribi models with leather for a better grip.
It works

A decent lighter. The flipping arm had some casting imperfections. Overall good construction. Be prepared to tighten a few screws here and there with use. It hasn't leaked. Even with the Kabuto flints it's hit or miss on striking a flame even in ... Read More
