Zippo Lighters Reviews

Zippo are the ultimate lighter producers and have been making these iconic little wonders for years. The design is really clever, but rather simple, that's not a bad thing though. Sometime simple is the best! Basically, the lighter contains a resevoir where you place fuel, that is soaked up by cotton wool and a ...  Read the complete review

There are 3 smokers in my house and all of us use a Zippo lighter and can't imagine ever going back to buying cheap throw away lighters. Even when out and about they are fantastic as they don't get blown out in the wind - although the flame does get blown about which can make using it a little bit of a challenge. However this ...  Read the complete review

Have been given a zippo lighter just after buying a cheaper version of one. The good thing about that zippo is it does as you expect. The flame does not go out in the wind, it becomes hard to catch with whatever you are trying to light, but it does not go out. The amount of fluid that the lighter hold lasts a long time when ...  Read the complete review

Review of the Zippo Lighter. Zippo lighters have been around for many years and are renowned for being sturdy, durable lighters. The box-like styling is very traditional and functional in appearance. I have owned my brushed chrome Zippo for about 4 years now and overall, have been pleased with it. It was ...  Read the complete review

I don't smoke, never have done, never will but my dad smoked from about the age of 13. Thankfully he has given up now but back in the day he always had a zippo lighter with him. I remember being fascinated by these as a kid and loved to watch his smoke plumes go up in the air whilst sitting next to him. This was before the days when ...  Read the complete review

I have been a smoker for several years but have always loved zippo lighters. Zippos are made to an incredibly high level with attention to detail and quality being amazing. There are thousands and thousands of different designs out there, some very common (most usually the plain silver) to some which are very rare and worth a ...  Read the complete review

As far as lighters go, the Zippo is probably the most well-known iconic brand. There are so many different designs which make it a popular choice for gifts and souvenirs, in addition to be a fashionable item to own, but they don't come cheap. Zippo was born in 1932 as a product of the Zippo Manufacturing Company, patented in ...  Read the complete review

Ah, the classic chrome Zippo lighter. I got mine by accident one New Years Eve on my walk home I caught sight of a small shiny object in the snow reflecting a street light. Once I actually realised what it was I was ecstatic as I was a school kid with not much money and I knew it was worth a few quid. As a part time / social ...  Read the complete review

The ZIPPO Manufacturing Company was established in 1932 Bradford, PA by George Blaisdell who decided to design a lighter based around an Australian lighter and decided to call it a "Zippo" because he liked the word "Zipper" and he thought that Zippo was the best variation because it sounded modern. the first Zippo's ...  Read the complete review

Although using disposable lighters to ignite your smoke of choice is cheap, I have to admit they aren't particularly classy, and whether we want to admit it or not, there is an image to smoking. I myself have three zippo lighters, a silver one, a Jack Daniels brass one, and another silver one with a black widow façade on the ...  Read the complete review

I have three of these little beauties. One chrome with a picture of Elvis on its façade, and two brass ones, one with a howling wolf and the other with a hand spreading the four aces from a pack of cards. They are my pride and joy. Basically there are three main parts to the Zippo. The outer casing, the flip top lid, and the ...  Read the complete review

Smokers will always need to light their demon weed and I am no different - a disposable lighter will cost you about £1 and lasts on average about a month - that is unless you lose it which I tend to do when out on the town - you also run the risk of someone "borrowing" it never to see it return so I decided to purchase a Zippo ...  Read the complete review

I have given up smoking now, but without a doubt the best smoking gadget has to be the trusty zippo. Frustration As smokers will know, it can be quite a chore lighting a cigarette outdoors with a disposable lighter. You stand there in some urine soaked corner, continuously flicking the lighter, cursing it, untill ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ One of the mad cabbie’s favourite and most pleasurable pastimes is rolling up one of his wee “smokey joes”. (my daughter’s pet name for my roll-up cigarettes) OK, OK, I know that it’s a filthy habit, and bad for your health, but I think I’m entitled to do one thing in my life without a safety net! ...  Read the complete review
