I purchased my first Zippo!
With all the good things I've heard about Zippo lighters lately, I decided to buy one. It's brushed gold with a green front panel. "United States Army" and the Army logo are on the green panel. I like it alot. It takes some getting used to lighting cigars, but works great once I got the hang of it.

Sweet.
I ordered two last Christmas for my roommate and I. We're both WWII buffs, so I ordered the 1941 Replica.

My GF got me one for Vday . She got me the insert too!! I love this thing and lighting cigars takes NO EFFORT at all! Only bad thing, it eats fuel, but I dont even care! . I have a Jack Daniels one (my favorite alcohol).

And, since Zippos are frowned on by the cigar 'cognoscenti', they have to be cool.....

Two recommendations: 1) Use Zippo brand fuel. 2) Let the flame burn a second or two before lighting your cigar.
