Chili Ron Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Howdy, I just saw a crossed revolvers zippo lighter. I thought my alias would look good on the top section. A lot like the new SASS logo. They show a number of western and native offerings. A brass one for Yellowstone with buffalo too. Best CR Lucas Lighters sent me email with new stuff.

Chili Ron Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 Howdy, The folks at Zippo have an electric insert. It can be recharged off most any computer. Very neat. A charge lasts a long time. It fits the standard size and shape Zippos. It doesnt work with some items but just roll up some newspaper and light it and then light whatever..... Best CR costs around 18 or so. This is a real Zippo offering not aftermarket junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Still have a Zippo, but I don't smoke cigars often enough to keep it filled. When I was in HS, Zippos (along with switchblades) were the toys of the day, even if you didn't smoke you needed one. There were all sorts of tricky ways to light them. Brush open on jeans on the down stroke, light on the upstroke same. Pop open one handed, light with a snap of the fingers, on the other hand etc. Think Ringo in the saloon in Tombstone. One of the cool guys, call him Tommy, apparently had overfilled his lighter. Sitting in first period class lighter in front pants pocket - the fluid ran out somewhere it shouldn'tand talk about excitement. Don't think anyone else "dropped trou" in a classroom.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The zippo butane insert works well. Perfect for lighting cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
