Still have 2 Zippo's here as well, though I'm using butane lighters now.

Yeah, in many ways the butane's are more practical. I have 3 refillable butane jet-flame type lighters. Two of them are single jet types and the other is a triple jet lighter. All three give off a hot clean blue jet flame. I have used them for soldering and other jobs where a small high heat source is needed. The jet-flame types are very good in wind, perhaps even better than the Zippo windproofs. The only drawback to the jet-flames is that under bright daylight conditions the flame is invisible. The jet-flame lighters are also better for lighting pipes and cigars. Especially pipes because you can shoot the flame straight down into the tobacco.

But the Zippo's are still classics. I always try and keep at least one working vintage Zippo fueled and ready. Plus, I love that smell of naphtha... LOL. And as a company I like the fact that Zippo stands by its product and makes customer satisfaction a top priority and still makes their products right here in the USA. Noot that there is anything wrong with products made overseas. But these days its so rare to see a company that started in America still making their products in America.
