New Zippo butane lighter...coming soon?

The guys at a local B&M showed me a prototype of a new butane torch lighter from Zippo. Apparently they're introducing it in Europe rather than the good old U.S.A., so us Yanks may not be able to buy one for a spell.

It was tapered at the top and bottom, not the usual rectangular shape, silver colored finish as you'd expect though.

Zippo made butane lighters for several years, what, up into the 1980s or early '90s maybe? Apparently they never sold too well, and were discontinued.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, a site search here yielded nothing. Also, zippo.com isn't working for me today for some reason, or else I'd have nosed around there for info before starting this thread.

Anybody got the skinny on this?
