Zippo Blu Ray

Does anyone have one? Is it a piece of shit or what?

I've got a freebie coming from Malburo or someone.Signed up on line. But from what I've heard, I should have gone with the sleeping bag option and given it to me son.

Only thing I've heard good about 'em is the price (E.g.: Free)

If you want a Zippo, find a cheap one and get the Z-Plus insert. I have 3 other torches plus boxes of matches and butane disposables everywhere, and all I ever use in the Z-Plus.

People complain about the low capacity, but I bleed mine every time it needs refilling, and it lasts ~ 3 weeks on 2-3 cigars a day.

I have a torch and a bic in my car. I always grab the bic. I saw a nice soft flame lighter at my local but the dam thing was 60 bucks.

I agree with Jim, get an old zippo from a flea market or a yard sale if you dont already have one, and get a Z-Plus insert. I dont have a problem with the fuel capacity either, mine lasts a few weeks with about 7 cigars a week.

Never heard of a Z plus insert, what is it?

It's actually really nice but takes a little to get use to. Looks a lot different too. But the Z-Plus is just as effective and costs less.

Sounds pretty good. Where can you get them from?

I checked out the new Zippo Blu at my B&M yesterday. I wouldn't buy one. And pro'ly wouldn't use it if it was free. It feels really cheap and wouldn't close properly on the first try -- I had to flip the top over, then push it down. The whole flint mechanism is interesting, but the lighter itself isn't worth it IMHO.

I have been using the Z-Plus inserts for some time and am quite happy with 'em. Get a sexy Zippo and put a Z-Plus in it.

Got a ZippoBlu as a freebie. As far as torches go, it works pretty well for me though I use a bic for almost all my lights....but at least now I have another option when its really windy out.....and hey, I live in Kansas so I need it and ya just can't beat the price.
