My baby girl bought me this cutter for my Birthday last March. She bought the same one for me the year before but it got robbed out of my car along with my little travel humi and lighter. I was heartbroken, I loved that cutter.
So for Christmas, she got me a Zippo that matches it. I got a Z-Plus insert for it so it's a butane torch now. The insert arrived today, just in time for vacation. We leave for Belize at 4:30 in the morning. :D

They're my pride and joy, I just wanted to show them off. They're super special to me because my daughter Rebekah got them for me, plus she knew how much I'd wanted them. She's a good kid, I love that little sh1t.

Here they are...

Gorgeous!

Be safe on your trip Scott, I will see you when you return!
I wouldn't mind getting a Zippo with insert someday, does it work well?

It works perfectly. It arrived full of butane, too. I think it was 14 bucks shipped at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Z-PLUS-ZPLUS-Z-Plus-Butane-Insert/dp/B000B7TH8I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326485140&sr=8-1).
I got Zippo butane (http://www.amazon.com/Zippo-Large-Butane-Gas-Fuel/dp/B0038YKSO8/ref=sr_1_5?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1326485435&sr=1-5) the other day, too. It has a plastic fill nozzle. I always used Vector but they have a metal fill nozzle and don't seal well when I'm filling my lighters. I was filling a Xikar with a side click and was pushing so hard trying to get it to seal while I filled it that I inadvertantly clicked the lighter and the whole deal blew up in my face. I lost my eyebrows and burned my face and everything.
Now it's no more Vector for me. I don't care if it's free. :D
