Well, I have a few lighters that I've collected over the years.
I think my next will be an IM Corona Old Boy, which will be my first high-end lighter.
What do you guys think so far? Nothing special, but I love each of them.
The first is a cheap DjEEP which has always served me well. At least more trusty than a Bic to me and holds more fluid.
Then we have an old Winston Cup NO BULL lighter. Doesn't have the Zippo brand on it anywhere, but works just the same. This one was given to me by my uncle a few years before he passed. It's been through a lot, but the sentimental value is the most important thing about this one.
Then, a golden colored (not sure if it is actually gold-plated) Zippo with wood inlay (picture doesn't show it but the inlay has a "smoky" looking wood grain). I found this one while rummaging through my deceased uncle's belongings. It has the initials J.S. on it. Seems to be a pretty old lighter, and we aren't really sure who J.S. is, but my uncle's last name was Smith, so we can only assume it was handed down by an earlier generation. Beautiful lighter and works great. Has the actual Zippo brand marking on the bottom.
Lastly, my black, trusty Zippo pipe lighter. This one has the pipe insert (with the large holes on the sides to light a pipe. This is usually my go-to when I am home, and the DjEEP is more my traveler.
So, one day hopefully I can afford an Old Boy to add to the collection, but this is it for now.
Now, let's see some pictures of your lighters.
