I am very interested in purchasing one of the "new" Zippo Blu or Blu2 lighters. I have had a Zippo lighter for eons and it just feels like part of me. Obviously, I don't want to light my cigars with a lighter that is fueled with petrochemicals, but I still want to have that Zippo heft in my pocket and my hand.
Have any of you tried the Zippo gas torch lighter? It is called the Zippo Blu or the Blu2.
There is an outfit very close to me here in Florida that will customize Zippo lighters (name, "birdie on the ball", etc.) and personalizing a lighter is part of the overall experience.
I have had the Zippo insert (a butane torch assembly that slides into an old Zippo case) as sold by one of the VERY popular mail-order houses, but it leaves a lot to be desired. Zippo has always produced a high-quality product and I want to know if that legacy has continued into their butane lighter line.
Thanks to anyone who will take the time and help an old geezer !!!
