Maybe I took a Rip van Winkle length nap but I though Zippo, like Harley-Davidson, part of their appeal is that they are made in America. Zippo in Pennsylvania, if I recall correctly.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 7:40 pm On a different note, did you guys see that zippo also released a butane pipe insert recently?

The traditional lighters still are. The butane inserts and accessories are not and never have been.

You can get Oakley sunglasses on Wish for $4.
That about 2% of the cost of real Oakleys.

I have always wondered. Living in New Orleans and getting around a Vespa, I never saw a reason to try them. I have to keep my hands on the handlebars. Those Zippo handwarmers always look like the perfect pocket treat.
