Review on 🕰️ Timeless Elegance: Zippo Brass Pocket Lighters - Ignite Style and Durability by Jerry Gonzalez

I decided to return to Zippo and wanted to start replacing the ones I had lost over the years. Namely this polished model stamped "Solid Brass". It's beautiful, and clicks just as cleanly and shines just as nicely as my 90's original. I don't know who has my old one but you can keep it lol. I won't lose it I like polished brass because it "ages" with use. It starts out as a gleaming golden mirror and becomes "perfect" years later. The only difference I can tell is that the "Solid Brass" stamp might be a bit lighter or smaller now. This is speculation, not science. Also, I honestly can't remember if I had a brass or silver insert on the old one. However, this is a great lighter. I am very happy. I only wish the Zippo leather case I bought actually looked as good and not like an old GI Joe rubber holster. My first Zippo was a chrome "thin" model with an embossed pattern. I got it as a gift in the 80's and it was also lost or "borrowed". I will replace it too. Before that, however, I decided to also purchase a thin polished solid brass stamped model to fit my regular Zippo. For some reason I can only comment on one of the two, so it's a double score. thin "Solid Brass" Zippo, most likely RIPPO. If you don't open it, the lid should not click on the body of the lighter. if you smoke a pipe, the slim model actually seems to glow better. Slender models have a slightly longer body to hold on to (albeit narrower) and a smaller chimney, allowing for more matchstick-sized flames. .I tried the Zippo tube insert and to be honest I didn't really care. However, this thin brass zipper fits.
