Well thought this would never happen to me. When I got into pipes about a year ago and was trolling around the website, I'd see all the different lighters and prices people have paid for them. I always assumed I'd stick to the cheap bic or slightly more expensive zippo/pipe insert lighter. After a year of constant refills and never having the zippo work when I need it most, I finally gave in. I decided to take the plunge and pick up an IM Corona.....after making sure my banker (wife) said it was alright, haha. Pretty excited when it arrived in the mail today and can't wait to try it out tomorrow! Added a couple photos, like the matte black look and hope it retains the color/lack there of over the years.

Bad ass! I have the same disease too. Got a used DuPont Ligne 2 and now am looking at a used dunhill. My IM Corona I bought new (a Laurel) and it works perfect. It's Matt black like yours and does show minor signs of being loved. Don't worry, these things can be maintained to last a lifetime or two. Use it as any tool.

Those lighters are so awesome. I may ask for one for my b-day. Are they butane or fluid?

Very nice. I've been wanting a similar lighter for quite some time. Still haven't gotten around to it though... mainly because I'll end up buying a pipe instead! That's a nice one. Enjoy the heck out of it. :)

That is one smoking, haha, lighter. I'm still a victim of Zippos, and you can't beat the great cover art. Here's a new one, sent out for a pipe insert:

I've read the Zippo flints are better since they're a bit softer
