Lighting with a zippo

[Mulley]

Got the thunderbird in this weekend, and I really love it. Great torch but has the zippo look and feel that I really like. Don't hesitate, grab one of these today. Got mine for 15 bucks from lighters direct, they said that the tank was drained, but it lit right up for me out of the packaging.

The Zippo is the single greatest lighter ever made!!! I have had multiple butane lighters fail me in sub-0 temps, but my Zippos just keep on keeping on. If you take a few seconds to let the Zippo burn a bit before lighting, I find a lot of the odor dissipates as well.

Don't soak the cotton so full of fluid, let the wick burn a bit before charring, and keep distance from the flame and you will be fine with a Zippo and a cigar. I think a lot of the fluid taste complaints are due to poor lighting technique, not the almighty Zippo.

But then again, what do I know, I am just a dumb piper

How many cigars are you guys getting per fill?

How many cigars are you guys getting per fill?

My filled Zippo(s) lasts me anywhere from 5-7 days without a refill.

That is while smoking pipes and cigars.
