Zippo Matte Pocket Lighters

I am reviewing this lighter vs the VVAY pipe lighter I bought from Amazon previously. I will cut/paste same review for both lighters (VVAY vs Zipo, scores in that order) Skill required 5* vs 3* VVay is just a normal lighter, easy to use. Zipo has a learning curve, but it is worth the effort Safety 5* vs 1*. The VVAY is inherently safe, the Zipo uses petrol (not paraffin or something less volatile) and needs v v careful handling. I now know to leave it to stand as after refill as 1st time it covered itself and my hand in flames ! Aroma 1* vs 5* the same petrol smells wonderful Ease of use 4* vs 2* VVAY is a simple 1 handed press, Zipo needs 2 hands Tactile feel 1* vs 5*. Just can't beat the Zipo here. The magic "click" really is magic ! Lighting ability - score draw. VVAY is perfect but zipo better in wind Cost identical - both unit cost and fuel Practicality depends on how you smoke . Me - only at home, but if you take a pipe everywhere then the VVAY saves another tool in your pocket, although its small fuel tank could be an issue ? Conclusion - The Zipo is just fantastic to hold (and play with !). It's the one I use nearly all the time. Let's be honest - how many pipe smokers don't like tactile !?!?

Lovely wee lighter. Very stylish. Click, flame, pipe lit, indoors or out in the wind. Pipe emblazoned on corner. Impresses folk. Practical. Indestructible. Value for money. Lifetime zippo free repair if somehow it malfunctions. You will need to reorganise the wick and cotton, as it comes in a bit of a mess. Put some love into it, an it's a great bit of kit. This one has the pipe chimney, and a wee hole in the top. You can also get pipe chimney and open top. Love this thing.

Very nice Zippo. Have quite a few from various places, including Iraq and Afghanistan but this one was excellent.

Easiest lighter to maintain ever made. Literally 2 moving parts which are guaranteed for life. Works outdoors every time. And does NOT effect pipe tabbaco in the slightest! When using zippo fuel its tasteless!!

Good lighter but not perfect takes a lot of effort to light a pipe you’re better off using a clipper long nose lighter that only costs £2

A timeless lighter with a solid build and reliable ignition. The matte finish looks sleek and provides good grip.

Great for pipe smokers. Besides the side flame, not much to say but that it's a proper Zippo, has all the great things about a Zippo. Only downside (as with any Zippo) being that it requires regular maintenance (adding fluid, changing the stone, etc). Hearing the characteristic click every time, having a reliable side flame, and looking cool lightning your pipe with a proper lighter is well worth all the maintenance required.

It works stupendously. I burn candles with fat more steeze than I did prior

Para mi el ser zippo y original ya es mas que suficiente ,

What can I say? It’s a zippo lighter and it always works great. But if you buy the flint, make sure you remember where you put it.

Wat een super pijp aansteker. En hij is nog super mooi ook. Mooi met de pijp afbeelding. Dus mooi rustig. Maar wel robuust. En ook op deze zippo zit levenslange garantie op. En Amazon doet het weer. Voor een wel hele mooie prijs. Dus dank je wel Amazon. Want dit is wel de beste pijpaansteker die ik nu heb.

Very nice. Works great.

I bought this lighter last December and it is perfect. I had visited some of my family members for Christmas Eve and they had a cook-out. As I was coming back home, I later realized that I had forgotten my zippo lighter. Now my uncle has it and I thought he could keep it as a small gift from me. I love this one because purple is one of my favorite colors and it works just as well. As a beginner collector of lighters, this makes a fantastic addition. I have another silver one but that one is a butane lighter. I'm more of a windproof lighter kind of guy.
