About
With a rustic, textured, metallic finish, the Kiribi Takara stays true to its namesake inspiration, calling to mind sunken treasure found in deep waters. Available in either a silvery Black or the gold coin-like Brass seen here, each lighter is etched with the Kiribi logo and the iconic giant squid on opposite faces.
Aesthetics aside, it's quite the functional pipe lighter as well — combining all the high-tech features and convenient cap toggle of the popular Kabuto, only in two bolder finish styles.

Hasn’t worked right since I bought it.

leaking so I sent it in for repair. When I got it back the ridiculous flame was back so I fixed it again. It worked ok for a few months and now is leaking again. I have purchased a total of 3 kiribi lighters from smokingpipes.com and this is the only one that has been a problem. Thinking I should switch brands....Read More

light, if it lights at all. If you carry this daily in your pants pocket, the fake weathering will quickly wear off in the most unsightly fashion. If you intend to use it this way, I'd advise you to cut straight to the chase and remove the finish with some metal polish before beginning to carry it, so that it can begin developing a natural, persistent patina right away....Read More

he box. I’d give it about a 4.5 if not for thinking it was broke until I spent extra to buy more flints. Especially considering shipping cost more than the flints did....Read More

This has worked great for about a year so far. I love the feel and the vintage-meets-modern aesthetic.

Seems okay, so far...

and a screw securing the arm is either working its way out or was never fully seated in the first place. I'm not sure which; it's position out of the box escaped my notice. At any rate, the arm no longer sits quite levelly in the closed position. Still, it has to be said that it works well. If it breaks, I'll contact SmokingPipes about a repair.
UPDATE: The screw that was working its way loose responded well to nimble fingers and a tiny screwdriver. No problems since.
UPDATE THE SECOND: Whilst refilling the beast for the second time--the thing holds a prodigious amount of fuel, I'll give it that--I decided to replace the flint. Much to my surprise, the knurled knob on the spring assembly fell off! I didn't pull it off; it FELL OFF the spring. Is it likely to be a big issue? Probably not, but of course, on reassembly it is necessary to put the spring under a bit of pressure. Should your fingers slip--bye-bye knob! I will be very careful. Overall, the lighter continues to perform well, but I wouldn't say it's equal in manufacturing quality to an Old Boy.
UPDATE THE THIRD: The little screw that came loose once before started working its way loose again. Looks fine after tightening. Again, not a bad little lighter, but had I the opportunity to do things over again, I would have spent a little more and gotten another Old Boy. I should note that this update is several months after the last.
UPDATE THE FOURTH: I don't think I've had this thing a year and bluntly, that ever-loosening screw comes close to ruining it for me. Seems like I have to tighten it ever more frequently and despite my use of a properly-fitting tiny screwdriver, the screw is a bit dinged up and I am sure it will one day strip or fail. I don't know what I am going to do at that point. I would think I might be able to get a tiny screw somewhere, but I bet getting it in straight would be the dickens. Most likely, I'll end up chucking the lighter and chalking it up to experience. My advice: save a little more money up and spring for a Corona Old Boy. I think they're better built. I have downgraded my rating to reflect the totality of my experience with the lighter so far....Read More
