Every Man Should Own a Solid Brass Zippo Lighter

I bought my first solid brass Zippo lighter in England as a student and still own it. It has aged beautifully and it actually works perfectly. I also learned how to brandish the lighter, flicking it open with one hand and snapping it shut. Sometimes, I would strike it off of the leg of my jeans.

It is really an essential purchase. It is stylish and timeless; it also means you’re neither cheap nor are you one of those pansy-ass butane lighter nancies. A solid brass Zippo doesn’t mean you’re a smoker, it just means you’re always prepared. To light a beautiful young woman’s cigarette, for instance.

Solid Brass Zippo Lighter Zippo Manufacturing Company has produced over 400 million windproof lighters since its founding in 1932. Except for improvements in the flint wheel and modifications in case finishes, Zippo’s original design remains virtually unchanged today, still looks great and are easy to use. The Lifetime Guarantee that accompanies every Zippo lighter still guarantees that “It works or we fix it free” for life.
