5.0 out of 5 stars Fanstastic Lighter, November 29, 2010

I don't smoke or do anything that really requires a lighter on a day to day basis, but I do go camping, and trying to light stoves with matches when the wind is blowing is an absolute pain. So after seeing my friend's Zippo I decided to purchase one of my own.

All my stuff is black, my keys, phone, wallet, etc., so I wanted a black lighter to go with it.

I looked at the "black ice" Zippo but after reading the reviews it wasn't black but more of a dark gray chrome, and I didn't really want a polished/shiny Zippo either. So I found this one and it seemed to fit the bill perfectly. The finish is smooth but not at all reflective. It is so nice my friend decided to order a matte white one. (I'm not going to mention anything about the functionality of the lighter since it's been covered in all the other reviews - it works perfectly just as you would expect from a Zippo.)

I ordered it and picked up some Zippo fluid at a local smoke shop (while the lighter itself is cheaper on Amazon the fluid was about twice as much). When it arrived, it arrived just like any other genuine Zippo you read about - boxed with the warranty sheet, safety stickers and all.

The only thing I was worried about was the finish, but the finish has held up perfectly so far. I've over filled the lighter a couple times and lit the exterior finish on fire multiple times and my friend dropped it onto my driveway the day I got it (made me cringe, but it didn't do any damage) - the finish is still like new.

Now I'm already looking to purchase a second Zippo lighter.

I highly recommend any Zippo lighter if you are looking for one, and this one if you want a black one.

I purchased this zippo about 3 months ago just for fun. I got it mainly for my military job where matte black is standard regulation but also use it for camping, hiking, and everything else in my daily life (I do not smoke). You can't really go wrong for $15 especially when you have to pay $30+ in most other places.

The bottom has the usual zippo stamp but has a glazed coating over it so that it doesn't shine (very good, or else it would defeat the purpose of the matte black finish).

I have noticed on most zippos that the insert rides up after the top is opened and closed a few times and needs to be pushed back down into place so the lid can close. kind of annoying but nothing too bad.

This lighter is the time-tested fluid lighter that has been used for the last half cenruty.

It works great, is durable and windproof (except in a full gale). As soon as I filled it with lighter fluid I was set.

I also placed a couple of extra flints inside the lighter (under the bottom felt pad) for replacement of the flint.

I prefer this over the butane lighters because lighter fluid stores easily, refills are quick and easy and the lighter works for quite a time before needing another fill.
