I've lost too many Zippos to ever buy one again. I just stick with matches or a BIC lighter.

It looks like Old Snake in Metal Gear Solid 4 has a Zippo too.

Here's mine, 1964 vintage.

i've always wanted a Zappa Zippo.
mostly because it's fun to say out loud.

i have 4 zippos...

3 of them need new flints and the one on the left for some reason has lost the trademark *click*

the 1941 replica (the one on the right) is the one i use... i carry it in one of those leather pouches (specifically the one with the metal belt clip)

Yay! Zippos!

Nice. I love Zippos. Unfortunately, I lost my favorite one (one of the slim ones, in flat green). I have an iridescent (not my color choice, but whatever..) full size one somewhere, but I haven't used it since I quit smoking. They are great lighters and classy.

I learned to open and light the Zippo with one hand only (no rubbing the striker/wheel thing on anything other than that same hand) and that was a lot of fun.

I used to carry around my Zippo and whenever someone was looking for a light for their cigarette, I would pull out my Zippo and light it for them.

Then one day this old guy asked me if I smoke, and I said, "No".

Then he asked me why I carry a lighter around if I don't smoke.

I didn't have an answer for him, but the real reason was because carrying a lighter around was fun.

Zippos are the best.

i would have said "so i can set fire to people who ask why i carry a lighter if i don't smoke"

i also recently bought a zippo. I don't smoke either (except for the occasional pipe or hookah). I bought the pipe zippo because it can be tilted sideways to light pipes.

Mainly, i got the zippo to 1. always have fire with me and 2. play with whilst bored.

Mine looks like this:

Only had it for a couple of months. I always lose my bic lighters so I decided to buy a Zippo so I wouldn't be so careless and lose it. It's fun and I just snap my finger and it's open and lit.

Zippos are great. And they are in a way like historical relics, especially the old vintage ones. I would like to get a cool vintage Zippo someday. But I have to admit that I do like matches too.

 

[Zodduska]

I like zippos a lot, they are fun to play around with, but as a smoker I don't use them because I find the fluid effects the taste.

x2. I've got a vintage Rollagas that gets a fair amount of use. I've also got a Windmill survival lighter and quite a few Zippos. I don't smoke, either.
