Colibri lighter products are one of the highest class types of cigarette lighter. The Colibri company was first founded in 1933 by Julius Lowenthal. In the past he had worked for a company that created lighters and other things for smoking, and in 1927 he first got the idea for what would become the original Colibri lighter: a special lighter design that would allow the lighter to be turned on without touching the flint wheel with the thumb and which would make it a much stronger guarantee that the flame would be activated correctly whenever the Colibri lighter was used.

The next year in 1928 Julius Lowenthal produced the first Colibri lighter. After a period of experimentation with the design, a successful design was reached and the Colibri lighter became a strong seller. Over the years since then, Julius Lowenthal and the Colibri lighter company created many other types of advances in lighters such as Colibri windproof lighters and the Colibri submersible lighter. Within recent decades, the Colibri Group has become one of the most popular companies in the world for luxury gift items - the Colibri brand name that was developed through the Colibri lighter has also been applied to products created by companies that have joined the Colibri Group - companies such as Kremantz Jewelery, Dolan-Bullock and the Seth Thomas Clock Company.
