[QUOTE="Koobers, post: 166873, member: 1947"] I guess it's true what they say, "They don't make 'em like they used to". I just bought a Zippo pipe lighter cause it seems like many folks here like them and boy was I disappointed. It was manufactured in July of this year so it's about as fresh as could be. I remember having a Zippo when I was a teenager about 15 years ago and it was a nice lighter with a good hefty weight to it even when it was empty. The one I got is thin and almost weightless and there is about a 1/32" gap along the lid on both sides which I'm sure will aid the fuel in evaporating. Even the pipe insert is real flimsy and cheap; my Dad had one years ago and it was much nicer and more heavy duty. The last thing I noticed is that the hinge on this thing looks like something you'd find on a Chinese knockoff. I'm really disappointed, I might just see if my Dad still has his old one or try to find one on eBay or something. What a bummer. [/QUOTE]
