A Lasting Legacy

In 1928, the Colibri lighter was founded Julius Lowenthal, who then officially launched the company with his brother Benno after World War I. The first of the Colibri lighters was the Colibri Original, which went on to be an extremely successful line of luxury lighters. The Colibri Original was special in that it answered the technical problems involving the commonly used flint wheel by utilizing a new, better mechanism to run the lighter. Lowenthal was granted a patent for the company’s completely automatic lighter in the 1930’s, and resituated the headquarters to London (from Germany) where he set up Colibri Lighters Ltd.

After World War II ended, the Colibri Company concentrated its efforts on new developments. Thus, they began to invest in innovation relating to lighter technology, as to become a frontrunner in the lighter industry. Today, Colibri still continues to lead as a pioneering company focused on the future, even 80 years since its beginning. Some of Colibri’s innovative products include cigars, sport and multi-function lighters, beam sensors, and a large variety of luxuriously detailed smoking accessories.

A Leader of Quality Craftsmanship

The Colibri Company has developed an impeccable reputation as the country’s leading producer of luxury lighters and smoking accessories since the 1920’s. Today, Colibri continues to focus on inventive design and technical advancements in lighter machinery and in smoking accessories. After the World Wars, Colibri set up a Development Division in the company to lead a series of technical developments. These new and exciting developments were incorporated into the market and are still paving the way for Colibri’s bright future. Also, Colibri’s wide range of lighters can be accounted to its strong aspiration for development. In 1955, Colibri launched its first gas lighter, which was manufactured in France. The technology behind the gas lighter was meshed with the French knowledge of butane gas tanks to ultimately produce the Colibri Monopol. Each Colibri lighter is meticulously inspected to confirm whether its quality is at par with the company’s high standards. As a result, Colibri’s butane lighters do not have the disagreeable residual flavor that is typical of most other matches and fluid lighters have. Here are some examples of Colibri lighter models:

-Colibri Original: Julius Lowenthal’s work; very first Colibri lighter ever manufactured

-Colibri Monogas: An improved version of the Monopol – a larger selection of finishes and equipped with a number of technical advancements

-Piezo Electric Lighter: The Colibri Molectric 88 was modeled after this lighter; the Molectric 88 was one of the most dependable and stylish lighters since the 1960’s

-Colibri Sensatron: Did not require any moving parts for ignition and could be activated at the slightest touch
