I must say that I was very dissapointed with the zippo blu. It appears to have been rushed to market without being perfected. This lighter consistently fails to light and the flame maddeningly can't be adjusted. If you are looking for a flint wheel torch I reccomend the colibri QTR-60000 series lighter. As much as I hate to plug a company who's lighters are usually a dissapointment I have never had a problem with this torch.

I've been fortunate to have a Zippo Blu to use for the last couple months, and generally I've been very impressed.

Like Ashby, when possible I like to use wooden matches, but when the wind makes this impossible – as it often does – the zippo Blu does a good job letting me light my cigar even when it is windy.

I'm particularly looking forward to having the Zippo Blu on the golf course with me, when it becomes warm enough here in DC to hit the links again.

I had a Colibri Firebird SST for $16 that I really liked, but eventually I abused it too much and the hinge for the lid broke. My current favorite is the Ronson Torch Lighter. You can find these in the cigarette counter at Walmart for $2.94. You could set this sucker in front of someone and tell them it was a $20 lighter and they wouldn't know the difference.

I never know what to get my dad for Father's Day, but this sounds like a great gift. Thanks for the product review.

I was actually lucky enough to score one of these in a free promo about six months ago. It works well except for the "recharge break" you mentioned can be frustrating. The people a t Zippo may not want to hear this but I got much better performance when I changed out my flint and replaced it with one from Ronson. A definite tip for anyone with this lighter.
