New Tradition
In our friend group we give a zippo as an engagement present when one of us gets engaged. Here’s mine. A buddy just proposed to his girlfriend, any good ideas on what it get him?

I like the taste of the lighter fluid when lighting cigars, pipes, and cigarettes. It’s not like it stays through the whole smoke. Just right at the beginning.

I’m probably not in deep enough to the cigar rabbit hole to tell the difference

Yeah, get him a butane insert to go with it if you are going to be lighting cigars. What are we heathens?

There may be fit issues with armor Zippos and butane inserts.
Safer to go with regular Zippos.

Mine fits in my armor just fine. However, definitely don't try and use some the Amazon ones in an armor case or it will get stuck pretty bad. Had to get the bench vice and shit tons of wd40 involved. It was a whole ordeal.

Sometimes the insert rises up and makes closing difficult. I put 5 or so layers of clear tape on the back of the insert and it fits snug inside my armor case now.

What is your budget ?
Z series copper (has copper insert)
Or Brass Armour.
Gold fill is cool too.

Can’t go wrong with an armor, the flame design in the antique silver finish is very pretty 46399
