The Click and Smell of a Zippo Lighter.

[fastbolt]

I finally own a Zippo lighter. Mine is one available for members to buy at the I'm With Roscoe private website, which is a forum and training website for aficionados of snub revolvers (and fedoras).  It only costs $40 for a 2-year membership, and the names of some of the folks involved ought to garner some attention among shooting enthusiasts. ;)

While I might just carry it against the need for fire, I might also order a cigar torch replacement insert for it someday. Cigar lighters can use more refined, cleaner fuel which doesn't affect the taste of the cigar, and a single or double torch flame lights heats and lights cigars faster.

I owned several during my years of smoking from 1959 to 1979. The only I miss is the one with the crest of the 101st Airborne that I bought when I was with that unit in Vietnam. I carried that one with me until I quit smoking, then put it away for safekeeping. Somewhere along the way it was lost. If I had it now I would hand it to my grandkids and ask them if they know what it is, and if they do know, do they know how to use it.
