i doubt many of you smoke but i do... and im sick and tired of the cheap clear gasstation lighters falling apart... thinking about breaking a 20 and getting a zippo...
just looking for personal opinions of the smokers or anyone else that uses lighters on a fairly regular basis...

I don't smoke, but I always have a lighter in my car or on me, just in case. I've never had a problem with the cheap bic ones from the gas stations, but I did break a 20 and got a real nice one. It wasn't the zippo brand, but it was that style..but the windproof one (not really sure of the actual name) and it was really awesome. Unfortunately, i used up all the fluid playing with it, and i haven't bothered gettin a refill yet.

lol. my guess is its a zippo... ,theyre about $18, and the original tagline for zippo was that they were windproof. im really tempted but i also have a bad habit of loosing lighters lol.
im a zippo man always have been..Just make sure you keep er full and keep a spare flint in the bottom.worth the money mine was run over by multiple cars in city traffic..a little bent but still works!
