Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Zippo was founded in Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1932 when George G. Blaisdell decided to create a lighter that would look good and be easy to use. Blaisdell obtained the rights for an Austrian windproof lighter with a removable top, and re-designed it to his own requirements. He made the case rectangular and attached the lid to the bottom with a welded hinge, and surrounded the wick with a windhood. Fascinated by another recent invention, the zipper, Blaisdell called his new lighter "Zippo", and backed it with a Lifetime Guarantee. The Zippo windproof pocket lighter is one of the most collectable in the world.

I've always used Zippo lighters. To me they are the ultimate. Simple design, great ergonomics, reliable, windproof and with the most satisfying clunk-click you can get. When I saw this one on Amazon I knew it wasn't a design I had owned before, having had all the classic brass and chrome ones over the years. I thought it was going to be metallic black, instead it is the most beautiful gunmetal finish and I'm glad it isn't. You think it's going to be fingerprint smudge hell, but the surface is so highly polished that marks just evaporate away. This lighter's a real gem if, like me, you treat the non-PC pastime of smoking as more than just a dirty habit.

The shine on this lighter is amazing, like looking in a darkened mirror. I got this because I got fed up with trying to use those disposable lighters which would go out or not even light in the slightest breeze. This lights every time and even in quite forceful winds if u cover it right. The picture doesn't look much like the actual lighter, it's much shinier and almost greyish in colour, but I think that's because of the polish on it.
Excellent lighter which also has a lifetime guarantee!

Great Zippo quality as usual. The finish is more like a dull chrome - mercury would be a better description as the lighter more silver than black. It looks great but attracts finger prints like a magnet. Polish it with a glasses cleaning cloth for best shine. I bought a brushed chrome one as well because as much as I like the finish of the black ice - the fingerprints were irritating me a little.

A faulty product and an awful experience
I gave the Zippo 3 stars as it is a great looking item. But, for me, that's where the good stuff ends.
