I have had both of these lighters for close to 10 years. The Xtend has worked flawlessly - made in France. The Defi Extreme has worked well - made in China.

I would say exactly the same thing. Sir Winnie have had consistent flavour and construction over the years. If it were based on production cycle/availability then SW doesn't win. So whenever there is an opportunity then I would pounce on them.

Although I enjoy the #2. Mag46 is a staple in my supply and prefer the format/vitola
