My zippo butane insert came DOA, so I need to return it. I decided to give the fluid one a try again... I still taste the fluid, but I can't taste it down through the entire bowl like I did at first. I'm not sure if this is because my taste is muted due to allergies, or if it's because the wick needed to burn down some. For now it seems a little better. If I can limit the taste to only when I'm lighting, I think I can live with that for the ease and convenience of using a zippo. I have a lotus brand lighter that has a dual soft flame torch, but it has the smallest tank of any lighter I've ever used. It runs out of gas after about 15 lights, which isn't much considering how often I have to relight.
Here is my new Peterson 307:

I, too, have learned the joys of dry 'baccy. BTW, nice pipe; I've always liked military fittings.
