I take umbrage with that view. If you were here with me, I would slap you with my glove.

Pivoting the conversation---

I do not understand the hate for the taste of zippo fuel. I find no difference to speak of vs. butane, taste-wise.

Though I will admit I like the taste of matches, for convenience's sake, I'll take naphtha any day. It is more reliable than anything else I have tried to keep tobacco consistently lit.
Please note that I would slap your back side , grab you in the nuts and plant a kiss on your face.
Ron , omg !!! Lol :lol: :lol: :lol: You so fresh

I haven’t had huge issues with Naphtha

I’ve recently bought and reviewed a lighter with a handy attachment

I wish I could receive Naphtha from USPS. Regulations seem to forbid it in bulk on government-owned mail trucks.

I can't buy zippo fluid or butane from Amazon. I can order either one from a pipe / cigar / lighter website and have it delivered but by the time I pay shipping etc I may as well just drive to a smoke shop and buy it

I hate to lie, so, when the postal clerk asks me to certify that my package contains nothing liquid, fragile, or flammable, I tell the truth.

I wanted to mail my mother some naphtha for Christmas. She doesn't have a smoke shop near her. Since Chief Catoonah died, I forget his birth name, he won the John Cotton smackdown, my mother won't frequent B&Ms. Too many memories.

I package and label all my shipments at home. When I go to the post office I just drop it in a bin and walk out. They don't ask and I don't tell

I used to ride commercial air flights with a knife in my pocket because nobody asked. Nobody cared if I had one.

It is nice to see the reasons I have to answer these nonsensical questions to mail a certified letter can be bypassed if I do like you do. Osama bin Laden's heir is watching.

I am not paranoid. I am making an observation on the stupidity of all this.

Yes, Coleman = white gas = naptha.

I'm just not convinced that Zippo is the same stuff.

But I've been wrong before... maybe...
Well , for a long time Naptha was listed on the container .... just sayin :D

Check out the side of the can on this older one ...
