Review on Zippo 29871 Zippo Nautical Lighters by Lee Reyna

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Zippo never disappoints!

I don't smoke anymore but back then these zip up lighters were always better than Bic disposable lighters. My first Zippo was a matte silver metallic, and this bronze definitely seems a lot bolder. Sea carving is also a plus and draws a lot of attention from friends and colleagues when I use it. I know Zippo advises against using non-Zippo parts, but I wasn't a huge fan of flint. Part of the wick in the body. As shown in the picture I replaced mine with a Thunderbird butane torch. It's easier for me to use and fire, although a little harder to refill than just opening the bottom valve on a Zippo analog. Collection of these guys in displays.

Pros
  • Household items
Cons
  • Expensive
