zippos any good?

[Bkcloud114]

I prefer to use a Zippo whenever I can. Never had any taste difference from the fluid. A Zippo is hard to use if you are outside, that's why I bought one of those cheap torch lighters ($2) works better than any expensive one. I have found that the fluid does evaporate quickly, so I bought on of these.... Zippo

Hey CC..... I'll take you up on that challenge...... you supply the cigars and I'll bring the lighters

i'm looking to get a zippo soon also. a stand at the mall sells them, and they will refill the fluid each time i go back. sounded like a good deal.

I have two zippos that I use, but honestly, i prefer a pocket torch over any other alternative.

i got a torch lighter, i tried it once, and i didnt like it, maybe cuz the flame is pretty long on it, i like my matches, but just dont work out on the course on those windy days

yea...the better ones have adjustable flames though.

I have always used a Zippo and I love mine (even outdoors in the wind, just a little tricky ). I have also heard of a butane insert that fits into the Zippo case (look here).

I just let the lighter burn a bit before lighting the cigar as mentioned earlier and then I blow out through the cigar once it's lit and I've noticed no problems with taste.

Just my .02
