What do you use zippo lighters for?

Question

I hear with cigars and stuff zippos are really bad to use as they ruin the flavor. So im wondering...wouldnt zippo ruin the flavors for everything? cigarettes...pipes...etc etc.

Answer 1

Do not use for cigars, it ruins the taste. Cigarettes taste bad anyway, so go ahead. Pipes are also a no. They are excellent for lighting things and doing cool tricks. Plus they look cool. If you need to light something in the wind, get a torch butane lighter. Just make sure not to touch a cigar to it as it will scorch it. This will ruin the flavor and you might as well have used a zippo.

Answer 2

Let's see......what can we use "fire" for? Lighting just about anything on fire. Yes, does leave a taste, residue in your mouth. The taste usually goes away after a couple puffs. Atleast, with my, probably poor, taste. Smoking out of a pipe is definitely not pleaseant; if you have to keep on lighting it. But, there are people that it just don't bother.

Zippos are also great for smoking outside in windy conditions. You can get a zippo that will probably light in a hurricane. Save you from turning your head, pulling your face over your head, or maybe even burning your nose

Answer 3

No, I haven't noticed any difference in flavour when I light a cigarette with a zippo.
I don't smoke anymore, but that's beside the point.
I hate cigars, smelly buggers..... lol.
