 About as Classy as a Lighter Can Get October 7, 2007

Let me say right away that this isn't a lighter that you open and start using, and then throw away when you're done with it. If you want one of those, go get a Bic. This is a Zippo! Sure, you have to refill it some, (since it comes without fluid, and dries out after a few weeks) and you can mess up your wick easier than you can mess up a regular lighter, but that's kind of the point. You see, this is the kind of lighter that you're supposed to buy and actually care for, which is part of its charm. If you mess up the wick, grab some tweezers and some scissors and pull the wick up a little bit (its surprisingly long) and cut the wick to the desired length. If you use up your flint, go buy a new one (I think they're like 59 cents for 3 at Wal-Mart) and put it in yourself. And if you do manage to mess it up beyond easy repair, you can just mail it to Zippo, since they offer a lifetime warranty on this product. Past that, I don't think I know a lighter that's nearly as much fun to light. The flint wheel and flint are quality components, and the lighter stays lit without you having to hold some stupid plastic button to keep it that way (did I mention that there isn't a single plastic component in the whole lighter?). I don't know how well I've described the kind of warmth that seems to grow in you for your Zippo as time goes by (For example my friend still has one from 2003, so he's had a single lighter for 4 years), but I can only hope that I've piqued your interest enough to go invest the 10 or 15 bucks to have one. After all, the more people that buy Zippos, the cheaper they are for me!
Good, solid first lighter June 5, 2007

If you are looking for a Zippo, chances are you want to do more than light a cigarette; you're probably getting this lighter to do tricks. If so, this is a good lighter to go with, it's a functional basic Zippo.
However, if you think you're going to be playing around with this thing for a while, you might seriously want to consider getting a slightly better looking one (perhaps black, or with a zippo logo) for a couple of extra bucks. I got this lighter last week, and am already in love with it and trick with it all the time; I already wish I had a fancier one to show off...
Also, remember this is a refillable ZIPPO lighter from which fuel dries over time if not used, HENCE IT COMES WITH NO FUEL FILLED(duh!). So do yourself a favor, and buy Zippo lighter fluid right now with the lighter and don't curse yourself later about having to pay shipping twice.
 Old design and no lighter fluid March 22, 2007

When I got this lighter, I kept striking the flint and no flame!! That's because these things don't come with lighter fluid. So now I have to fork out some more cash to get some lighter fluid. Also be aware that when you leave lighter fluid in the lighter, it will evaporate over time if you don't use it. Be aware that the flint and the wick will eventually wear out too, so those will need replacing as well. The MPL lighter looks better (I don't have one though)It's a newer design, no striking needed and the only thing you have to replace is the butane, which is a little more expensive than lighter fluid. After all this trouble, I wonder why I didn't just stick with matches.
Works Excellent February 20, 2007
After using this lighter multible times I feel it is reliable and it can withstand a beating too.
