lighters

what do you guys use? simple matchbox? dunhill? vintage zippo?

no one worries about getting their bic back at the end of the night, and that's probably why they always go missing.

share what you think are some interesting designs here.

have been using zippo for ever...not interesting when it comes to design per say - but well, the most reliable flame out there, IMHO

The Zippo 1941 brushed chrome repros are nice. Cheap and minimalistic.

But for a windproof lighter with a little more character, I really like vintage Zenith from the 60s:

Not sure how to link eBay photos... The seller told me this one was found at a japanese fine art gallery.
