That's why I will never buy those inserts not made in USA. I also worry that they are dangerous. That's why I stick with the good old fashioned insert made in the USA. Anyways I always preferred the regular zippo inserts over others. Having to hold down a button down for fire is far from my preference. Plus i dont like how very noisy jet flames are, regular inserts are more subtle, still windproof enough and no need to hold down a button or lever. Plus if broken (regular inserts granted i never had one fail me, i tried thunderbird jet flame insert and that one failed), i can just simply buy the components like wicks, flint, cotton, hinges etc unlike if one of those newer inserts failed then your likely to buy another new insert cuz you really cant take them apart by piece unlike the regs. Lol the only insert i bought thats an exception is the bit screwdrivers insert but i dont have to worry about that becoming hazardous if a mechanism fails. I'll take the little extra maintenance of the regular ones, besides for me its quite theraputic to change wick, flint and add more fuel.

Sadly Democrat policies keep branching out to China which is why they hate Trump so much because Trump wants to bring jobs back to here.

I'd like to thing the cases are made of solid brass and then plated accordingly. If that's the case, is there a difference in the Walmart blister-pack version and the nicer boxed version? If they are not made from brass, what are the cases made from, and how can you tell which are solid brass and which are other? Always enjoy the Zippo Fanatic videos. Thanks!

Doubt they'll ever do a Slim butane. A '41 armor would be primo. The Slim is THE best Zippo for cigars. The regular size models' flame is too unwieldy for precision lighting. You can pull the wick down or cut it on regular size Zippos, but it's just easier to use a wonderful Slim with the wick even with top of chimney---correct flame size every time. I use a '59 insert in my '58 14k cause i like the looks better than the pinched original '58 insert. The bullshit about Zippo fluid tainting cigars is bunk. I think the butane lighter people pushed that story. I can't figure out Zippo company thinking at this point. I think too many irons in the fire.

Yeah gotta catch back up. Had illness in the fam and was out straight for a long time. Some say Zippo is no-no for cigars, but if they do a blind taste test with someone lighting for them, i seriously doubt they can tell whether butane or fluid lit the cigar. With monthly routine minor maintenance, my Slim never, ever fails to light. Smoked well, well over 100,000 cigars so far in my life and never ever a Zippo failure to light. Never even ran out of fuel as i top off every morning 😂 I challenge anybody with any butane to match that reliability 😮
