ZippoMetal Windproof Lighter | Refillable, Pocket, Long Lasting | Classic Colors

its sick really cool

I love it it’s so nice and well made I love the box it comes in it’s beautiful colouring

It’s a zippo which means it lasts for ever , I had to replace the flint stone after a fairly short time but found out it was just misaligned, probably during transport . All in all I’m very happy .

Ok, so what can I really say?, “it’s a Zippo”, we all know what that means, quality, consistency, Zippo make some beautiful lighters, I own a few, this one was brought as just a clean simple lighter.Now it’s not an issue, more that I took a shot and missed, but the colour is a touch glossier & a touch more reflective than I expected. So if you’re looking for “flat black” or just that “simple dark” zippo, whilst this is a nice zippo, I took the chance, so now you don’t have to, this isn’t that dark look zippo.(still nice thou)Summary;Well made,Value,Looks good.I’d recommend (only if not looking for that dark/black look)

Brought it for someone.

Way back in the mists of time (okay the late 1980s) I had a matte black Zippo lighter that was my best friend. Never let me down, even in the middle of a windy Festival field. Somewhere between getting married and birthing a sprog I lost the blinking thing. So, 26 years later and unable to kick the nicotine habit and getting increasingly sick of disposable lighters (not only do they have a habit of jamming the flint when still half full but they are plastic of a non-recyclable kind) I decided it was time to treat myself to a new Zippo. I did look at various designs and pricepoints but decided that I would go with a direct replacement for my old favourite and purchased a black matte lighter.I have to admit that the price did make me wonder if this would be a genuine Zippo, when I looked at them in a local shop even the basic versions (ie. no nice design or engraving) started at £30. I am relieved to report that it is very definitely a genuine product and the build quality that I remember is still there. The lighter units sits snuggly in it's case and there is no lid or hinge movement when closed. Just waiting until I've had it 6 months and the hinge relaxes a little so you can flick it open with one wrist flick and then flick it closed again - annoying little habit but one I look forward to resurrecting.Comes with the wick ready threaded and a flint in place in a cardboard presentation box with guarantee. The box is nicely styled and does make it look special. You do need to provide the lighter petrol yourself (somehow I still had half a tin so didn't need to purchase any) but it is readily available both online and at Tobacco kiosks and counters in Supermarkets. Filling it is easy, and easy to overfill too - I did and there was fuel on the case outer and inside the lid. Makes it fun those first couple of strikes as it will catch. However, despite having a little fire on the outside of the case it did not damage the finish which shows no sign of my clumsiness.In these days of Climate Change small changes can make a difference. So, if you are still a traditional cigarette or cigar smoker or like the Great Outdoors and usually carry a disposable plastic lighter one easy change is going to a sturdy, true refillable lighter (lets face it those plastic things have a butane refill port but who bothers to try?). A tried and tested brand that is functional but somehow manages to remain stylish and will last you for your lifetime (if you are careful and don't lose it) has to be better than adding to landfill.

Built well and works well in wind however after a full refill it only takes a couple days to fully deplete the fuel so best to buy fuel frequently.

Little disappointed
