[QUOTE="sobx, post: 588251, member: 4944"] I have several, some I bought and some that were gifts. I just find it annoying to sit down to light my pipe to find it needs refillling, so I have to get up and go fiddle with liquid to refill it. For my use, butane is less messy, always works as I can see the fluid level inside, and I avoid the Naphtha flavor the zippo fluid gives to the tobacco. Grandpa used them because it was more convenient in the 60's than using matches. It's the 21st century now. I've moved on to less messy and more reliable butane. The only practical use I've found for zippos in the modern world is collecting, and for carrying to the field for the purpose of trading to the German kids in exchange for a case of beer. A $15 zippo in exchange for a case of beer after you've been sleeping in a tent in the woods for 30 days is a bargain! "[I]Lariat Advanace![/I]" [/QUOTE]
