Hot sun on a Zippo and a gust of wind. I just burnt off a good chunk of moustache. :shock:

    Zippos are supposed to be windproof aren't they? You'd have been ok if you'd used a crappy Bic lighter or similar.
    Hope it only burnt the 'tache.

    Windproof means they light on a windy day FGS, as the flame comes well out the top of the windguard how will it prevent that - Jeez......

    When I smoked I used to love my Zippo, I loved the smell of petrol/paraffin or whatever the fuel is. Some people claimed that lighting a cig with a Zippo enhanced the flavour...

    Enhanced flavour and coolness rating 8)

    Don't fall into the trap of cutting both sides down to match, apparently Hitler taches are not in this year. I remember from my college years Turbo lighters actually work when you are on the bike and moving (although your smoke burns so quick it doesnt last very long)

    Quite a thing to imagine. I do hope your leather cap and shorts weren't affected :shock: :wink:
