Pros

The wwii black crinkle remake is of a time when all of the world had to depend on the allies winning the war for all to be free. Love the 1941 reissue. Currently he uses whatever is handy to light the chimney.

Price


T dupont and this especially at the same price point.

The zippo price point is really appropriate given that you're buying a lighter that will, honestly, outlive you.

Packaging/appearance


This may not be for everyone, and if you want your lighter to remain as pretty as it is when it comes out of the box, then you ...  Read More

Competitiveness


It has a little bit of a retro design in comparison to the modern ones.

    The virtues of the zippo lighter have really been sung since 1932 so 90 years later there isnt anything to say that hasnt been said already

    The cigar culture tends to default to those butane torch lighters which to me tend to lack in the performance department
