Love my zikar scribe, but there is something about the zippo. Just feels right
Matches, BIC and other cheap butane lighters.
Zippo looks nice but many admit there's a flavour, an idea to buy canisters of fuel and even additional gear (flints) for when the original one will break isn't too attractive. If one accidentally dropped it in a car ... omg. No Zippo for me.

Fair enough. I work in a coffee shop, and you have to use the reusable cups 17 times to make them better than the paper disposables.
I guess I am wondering where that intersection is for Bics and a corona old boy or a kiribi
For me it's about durability. Less than $50 for a box of 50 BICs that can take a beating and still work for at least two weeks versus a $130 Corona that I dropped and broke the day I bought it.
I use a Zippo with pipe insert 90% of the time but always carry a Bic as well just in case. Someone mentioned forgetting to refill the Zippo. But the more you use the Zippo the more you remember to refill it. If I'm leaving the house for more than a few hours, I automatically add a little fluid.
I also have a big box of greenlight matches that I use strictly in the garage.
