Gotta love em'. Especially the guarantee.
Yep, its true. I've sent for the replacement. They change it out and send the original insert and a few flints back with the lighter.Any truth to this?

This is solid copper except for the hinge and insert. Also says copper on the bottom. This has a date code of 2003. It was a Malboro packaged issue.Natch":iyierrul said:Carlos,Carlos":iyierrul said:I have a copper one that I like a lot.
I've been looking at the brushed copper Zippo. Do you know if it's a coating or solid copper as the brass is?

Yep, they do.HistoryMajor":ixb6k6oz said:I had no idea you could exchange the inserts. I'll have to contact Zippo and see if they're willing to accommodate Canadian customers...though I can't see why they wouldn't.
Awesome, thanks for the link.Yep, they do.
Zippo for Canucks
Yeah, not too many companies that have the guarantee they do and take as much pride in it. My favorite is the one in black matte finish.kilted1":w5accwoj said:I've owned several Zippo lighters over the years, and I've gotta say, they are a company and a product that make me proud to be American! Great product, reasonable price, great service, all what America USED TO stand for. I'm betting that their CEO doesn't make eleventy billion dollars a year either!
No problem at all, use it just like a match! The pipe inserts make this even easier. Once you light the lighter, some recommend letting it burn for a few seconds to lessen the naptha fumes. The new Zippo Fluid is supposed to be fumeless.Winslow":wjrdvreo said:I have wondered about the Zippo Pipe Lighter scorching the rim of the pipe.I've

I have two zippo pipe lighters, that's all I use. They don't scorch around the rim any more than a match would do. The new zippo fluid is mostly free of fumes, I had quit using zippos years ago because of the fumes, till the new stuff came out (in the black can). I actually don't like matches because I always taste them (unless you let it burn down the tip). I also got frustrated trying to light up with a match when there is a slight breeze outside, no problemo with the zippo. I havent tried any other lighters so couldn't compare them to a zip.kilted1":33i5p74l said:No problem at all, use it just like a match! The pipe inserts make this even easier.

That is true, it seems to depend on the tobacco your smoking. I have been into Flakes recently and unless you really rub it out and let it dry you do have to do a lot of drawing in to get it lit.Justpipes":rfdogn1j said:I always felt like I had to draw too hard to get a good light with the lighter with the pipe insert.
