Zippos are pretty cool and I want one but I would have no use for it since I don't smoke (anymore).

Would I smoke just to have a Zippo? No. (maybe)

See I do smoke, but a regular throw away Bic is more reliable and can be used to smoke other things, so I don't use a Zippo.  Freshman year of college the place where you could buy snacks with the money they made your parents put on a card sold Zippos and I had about twenty, but now I just have one that I saved from that at random and one that I got when my grandfather died. 

However, the expression it's not like he invented the zippo is as cool as a zippo should be.


Seriously, those bitches are always out of fuel and if you just make a circle around your smoke with your hand your bic is as good as a Zippo is supposed to be in the wind

I think the Zippo adds a little something to every situation. It is like smoking a pipe, picking up a branch for a walking stick, or (hand)writing a letter.


...and you can engrave them with reasons why Vietnam is fucked up.

I think it's because they make a cool clicking sound as you open them. Ain't nothing that isn't improved by a sharp 'snikt'.

Man posting in this thread has really made me want to break out the old zippos.

Those things are cool, just not very practical.

That's some nice onomatopoeia there, Doc.

Thankyou, though it's not mine. It is a nice one.

A very bad boyfriend bought me a very nice zippo when I was in high school.  I learned to do a few tricks with it, which I used in lame attempts to pick up other guys after I broke up with the first one. 

Nothing like the scent of lighter fluid on a fresh smoke first thing in the A.M. 

Except, you know, not dying of cancer.

I have a Zippo because and only because it has my (deceased) grandfather's signature engraved into it.  I have no idea where it came from (he was not a smoker, nor a vain man who would want to see his name written on various pocket-sized smoking accessories) but it's a handsome little keepsake.  I plan to get it into working condition so I can use it on the very few special occasions that I smoke a cigar.
