Lighter Love my Cowboy Zippo

I LOVE Zippo lighters because they are made in Bradford, PA. It's in the United States! So Zippos are made in America! Can you believe it? Don't buy one for any reason other than this! Because this could be your last chance to own something Made in America! The flame erupts about an inch and a half of fresh lighter fluid. I ordered a second Zippo lighter just because I'm a cowboy at heart, even though I'm a retired minister. That is beautiful. I love just holding it in my hands and admiring the horse and cowboy on the cover, with a full moon on the back and a Native American color print on the bottom. Zippo comes with a wide range of decorative caps. That works great! The Zippo is a reliable lighter, but you'll need to flip the top cap to put out the flame, and you should have a supply of Zippo lighter fluid on hand as they will dry in days, maybe weeks, depending on how much you use need material that will retain liquid and keep the wick moist, and of course how often you use it. So if you're going to use it while camping or camping, or anywhere you NEED to start a fire, ALWAYS carry a supply of lighter fluid. There are safety instructions on the inside of the "factory". Very helpful and important. Read them! I have only one negative point about this particular Zippo lighter. I can't speak for other models but I always want to test this particular style before ordering again. To be clear, I also like to smoke a pipe. For lighting my pipe outdoors in windy weather I have found the Zippo to be a great lighter, keeping the flame going in fairly gusty winds. However, to light a pipe, you must tilt the lighter so that you can direct the flame into the bowl of the pipe. This means that the metal frame (product = actual lighter mechanism) that surrounds the wick not only needs to have a hole at the top for the flame to shoot vertically through (Zippo's flame direction), BUT it needs to have much larger holes on each side, so that , when you tilt the lighter horizontally, the flame shoots up through the larger hole on the side of the frame and can also be directed down through the opposite large hole to "suck in" the flame. down the pipe. This lighter (cowboy model) is stamped with the number D 12. (Not for pipe smokers.) This "cowboy" Zippo has the entire top of the support frame exposed, with small 1/16" holes drilled in the sides, making it great for general lighting or for cigarette smokers , but you can't point the flame down if you hold it near the head with the whistle in this case. This lighter is stamped with D 12. The Zippo lighter, with which you can light a pipe, is stamped C 10. So keep that in mind when ordering a Zippo, which luckily can be ordered from Revain.com with great and fast shipping! They are available at a reasonable price. Just take this difference into account when ordering. And try to determine what lighter type of interior finishing you need and buy. "Job" can be exchanged for any Zippo lighter. At least the ones I have. In my opinion, owning a Zippo is owning an American tradition! Have fun with Zippo! Buy American if possible!
