Zippos

Whats your favorite Zippo lighter look like? Been thinking about getting one.

Amos Umwhat

I've got the Zippo "Blu" torch, the first one they made, I think. Gave me a lot of problems at first, but once I got it figured out, it's my daily lighter.

My zippo is the classic chrome with my initials etched into it in old English. I'm gonna be getting a butane insert for it so I can use it with my stogies!

Just to be sure everyone knows this,.........Old style "lighter fluid' zippos will taint your cigars. But the good news is you can get a butane insert for your zippo that someone gifted you with engraving or grandpa's old zippo. Gotta have a butane insert.

Thats cool. Does the Blu and the insert do the same thing? How do you refill an insert?

Amos Umwhat

The Blu is butane right out of the box, fills on the bottom, window on the side, uses flints like a standard Zippo.

For those that have gone to a butane insert...Are they all torch inserts or can you get a butane soft/natural flame?

I've been wanting to get a Zippo BLU but I heard they have poor craftsmanship compared to the regular line. Can anyone give their 2 cents?
