I’ve found if you light the zippo and give it about 3 seconds before putting it to tobacco, I can’t taste it at all. Of course everybody’s taster is different ;)
That works for me too. I’ve also learned to only use Zippo brand fluid. I bought a yellow jug of the Ronson lighter fluid once because it was cheaper. Well, there was a reason it was cheaper. You could not burn off that heavy lighter fluid smell no matter how long you let it burn. I finally used it up and bought real Zippo branded fuel. Difference is night and day. But as you said, everyone’s taster is different.

I use one of those too. Bit small fluid chamber but works well. Also a bit annoying that the flame level is very dependent on how cold the lighter is. Need to start carrying it in my pocket instead of leaving it in the truck over night.
