I smoke a pipe. I carry a brass Zippo and use it exclusively. I prefer old school simple things. I wear a Fedora hat also.
Zippo fan here. I carry a USMC Brass lighter that has been my buddy for years. Lately I discovered that flints were nearly impossible to find - same for wicks. The burn is just their friendly reminder that you won't run dry for a couple of days. I didn't know it until recently that Case Knives bought out Zippo (or maybe the other way around). I expect a Case knife burn any day now.
I’ve still got one my son gave me 20? years ago. I think it was a Harley Davidson,but the decal is long gone. I keep a bic handy which gives my cardiologist her own heart problems lol
“Are you still doing that!? Why!?”
I’m weak [emoji33][emoji849]
Years ago in college I was hanging out at a bar we all used to go to. I came back from the head one time and my buddy showed me his new Zippo. Apparently a guy came to the table and said he would give it to whoever's birthday came closest to the date on his lighter. It was a gift from when he got back from the Korean conflict and the date was the date he returned to the States. My buddy was off by a couple of years. He showed me the date and it was my birthday and year exactly. Not a big deal but I've always remembered it. Too bad I was in the head. Of all the things I've ever owned, Zippo lighters were probably the most reliable.
