Rob, I have a Blazer torch that I bought in 1998, and it is used around 3-4 times per week...absolutely ZERO problems (except it got clogged once about 3 years ago). LOVE the thing.

Ken, just checked my story. Bloke paid 35K for an original 1933 Zippo in pristine, original condition. 100K short of your estimate, but who knows, that may have been a different lighter?

Remind me to never let you near my accounts Ken

In regards to lighters I'm not a fan of torch lighters really but after 5 years of matches change is like a holiday. In a perfect world I'd have a soft light butane Zippo.
