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.
