Review on πŸ”₯ Optimized Zippo Pipe Lighters by Robert Dabney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A reliable lighter, NOT a work of art.

It is obvious that this lighter is bought by two different groups of people. If you are a collector looking for fine craftsmanship and art then go ahead - this is not what you are looking for. You need some deals from Jetline or Colibri (among others) - they're nice to look at. I've had several of these and apart from not working very well as lighters they were great. Finally I decided to buy the pipe lighter that my grandfather always used. Apparently it's mass production. Decorated with a sticker. There are no machined or heavily polished surfaces. But it burns reliably and burns in the cold and in the wind. I've had a few fancier butane lighters that have frustrated me to no end. Most didn't glow reliably inside; much smaller outside. I think I'll put these butane lighters on the shelf next to the pipes to make it look nice. I'll keep the Zippo in my pocket.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
