Hey thanks for the up date on that. I’ve enjoyed reading several of your articles over at Outdoors Magazine.

I was wondering why you chose the Zippo made for pipe smokers rather than the regular ones. I to carry a Zippo daily as a nonsmoker and find the slim ones fit in my pocket with my other stuff I carry and chose the brass one since I think it wears well.

I carry mine with my regular pocket stuff and find that I remember to fill it if I do it once a week, as I get ready for church. Don’t know what that has to do with remembering but as I put every thing into my dress pants I just top the Zippo up.

The only spares I carry are spare flints under the felt you lift up to fill the tank. They are always right there ready to go and not in the way at all.

The other improvement I think I have made is to look for some better fuel for my lighter. I started with regular Zippo fluid, then Premium Zippo fluid but was disappointed with both. I doubt I have found the “best” yet but I have been much happier with the fuel made by Ronsonol. Anyone's input on the best fluid would be greatly appreciated.
