    I need to do a run of orange expat zippos. Don’t know why I never got around to that.

    How many are in on that?

    I'm in. If you can get them as the armored ones I'd be thrilled. Robust is good.

    Here and there...
    What is everyone’s opinion on the “armored” zippos?
    I’m thinking of getting a brass one and having it engraved or engraving it my Myself..
    Is there a custom engraver any of you recommends?

    First.. I searched for a lighters thread and this never popped up BEFORE until today, otherwise I would've posted in here the other day lol. Got the two other ones, on top, and two more coming. Collection is coming along nicely. The white looking one has the zippo butane insert, and the lighter is glow in the dark. 20211220_130952.jpg

    I have only one and really use it only for winter hiking, when the butane ones die and the gas in the zippo doesn't evaporate as fast as in the summer.

    I love it for the classic look but it is not practical if you are not a smoker and don't use it frequently, as it will be out of gas when you need it.

    I've just recently went to using a zippo again. I used them in my teens and 20"s but always ended up losing them out they get stolen. I've had this bic lighter case since 1997,and although I've lost it in the couch or my car a few times, it's always been found, thankfully. Figured it was time to retire it. And in all honesty, I'll probably end up selling off most of these zippos once I get a favorite. Weird I know. 20211221_104623.jpg

    These are the ones I'm waiting on. The top one is the one I'll be using daily. Screenshot_20211216-133658_Chrome.jpg $_1 (3).jpeg s-l400 (3).jpg
