I use to smoke and still have a couple of Zippos. I think they are the best and certainly the coolest lighters out there. It's fun to flip open the lid and light them with one hand in one non-stop motion.

But as already mentioned, if you don't use them and refill them constantly, they dry out and are useless. They have been retired to the depths of a dark drawer and I use disposable butane lighters for starting camp stoves and campfires.

Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.
