. . Zippo lighters - A tribute..

Advantages: Bullet proof simplicity.
Disadvantages: Heavy, not a fashion accessory,

Zippo - what a wonderful name, it was actually named after a famous invention, the Zip, or Zipper! The company was set up in the United States1832. The rest as they say, is history. Each and every Zippo lighter, has the same guarantee, and the quote by Zippo is simple - "It works or we fix it free". Many moons ago, I was in the Royal Navy, and I used to smoke, it was almost part of the uniform to have a Zippo ready to be deployed at all times. In those days we all had bog standard brushed chrome ones, and it was novel indeed to see one with a ship's crest on it. Although nowadays, Zippo produce a vast array of different styles, all based on the original plain oblong lighter.

Review of Zippo Playboy lighter

Zippo for life

Advantages: Lifetime guarantee
Disadvantages: None

I know it can be an initial cost to yourself to fork out on buying a Zippo lighter but trust me it will last a lifetime. Prices vary in Zippo lighters from £15 to £2000 upward that is if you want a classic 18 carat gold lighter. In 1932 George G. Blaisdell decided to make a lighter that would be easy to use and look smart. First he had to acquire the rights for an Austrian windproof lighter with a detachable top, he then re-designed it in a way that was more appealing to him and to the customers that bought the lighter. After he had re-designed and named the lighter ZIPPO he put a lifetime guaranteed on it. The Zippo company is still owned by ...
