Zippo Silver Chrome Brushed Windproof Lighter (BIS Certified)

This is the second Zippo I bought from Amazon, and it was satisfactory to the tee. I had to return my original Black Matte one since the hinge on it was loose, because I didn't have time to get that rectified by Zippo, what with Zippo offering it's lifetime warranty on all of its lighters."It works, or we fix it for free.™"Lighter quality was top notch. The polish was uniform, and it felt slightly sharp, even. Daily wear and tear would make it how it was designed to be- A classic lighter with no frills, just the authentic charm of a Zippo in your palm.The Zippo arrived in a small black box complete with the Zippo warranty card, and a child safety sticker stuck on it that marks a brand new Zippo, packaged neatly in a white Amazon polythene bag. Adequate protection in transit, nothing went wrong thankfully.Pros:* They call it windproof, and it excels. Even in the breeziest of conditions, the flame only bent, never went out.* The lighter's built to withstand serious abuse. I've owned these before, and they were really don't break or stop functioning even when treated roughly/accidentally flung around. This particular lighter was even flung once, and just sustained a few dents, and nothing else. The third attached shows the only damage this lighter ever showed, even after flinging it full-strength.* Includes a new wick and flint pre-installed, just fill fuel and you're good to go until they run out (Wick gets burnt/flint disappears)* Easy to service and maintain. No need to even give it to the local panshop guy, just do it yourself, it's pretty easy servicing a Zippo.* Flip it out of your pockets, and everybody notices the click. ;) The bronze and non-coated Zippos are the loudest clickers.Cons:* The fuel would only last 3 days, 5 if you're lucky and the lighter's insert is an especially snug-fitting one. It's how these lighters function, and require refueling every 3-4 days. Flints last about two weeks-a month, depending on usage frequency. The wick lasts a solid month or two.* The lighter is smaller than the images shown on the website. If you're a new buyer, keep in mind that these fit in an area smaller than your palm.I'd be nitpicking if I had to come up with more, as Zippos have quirks, they can't be qualified as cons. If you're a collector and don't actually use them, then the cons would be a non-issue for you.Hope this review helped! I bought this product in 2014, but didn't get to review it until now.

The media could not be loaded. I have always wanted to own an original zippo ever since I saw an old one a relative of mine had. Really awesome to finally own one.

Very good and genuine product

The media could not be loaded. Original Zippo lighters are known for their brand, sound and model !!Though i don't smoke, i bought this just to double it as lighter to light fire, and also the open/close the classic way and will never get you bored with that classic flint sound !!I also uploaded a video comparing original Zippo lighter with fake cheap ones, check for the distinct zippo sound difference.

IT is a Zippo and the classic brushed chrome that they used to supply to armed forces in world war 2 days ....absolutely delighted with this classic better than even the all chrome one !!!Would like to share lighters are banned from courier flights and so i had quite a time getting it !!!!

There is nothing I can add -- so much info already on web. Just one thing -- I don't smoke but i carry this as edc -- when i go to party or outdoors -- people come to me and ask for lighter -- its a good conversation starter.. when you are meeting new people. Great survivor gear...

Gr8...Not much 2 say as its Zippo...

Very very disappointed with the amazon service. One it came super late... I had to wait for more than a week. And the second is the packaging. It's horrible! The zippo box itself was damaged. I would've liked to keep and preserve the box as a display but I'm very very disappointed. The product seems fine but the hinges felt loose and fragile.
