Along with the tricks?
I know they are terrible for fuel retention and the damn fuel has such a terrible taste that it gives me headaches. The only time I will drag out a zippo is when a bic runs out of fluid and running up to the gas station isn't in the works.. but overall I enjoy the iconic look and the variety of tricks that have been developed for them. I have a few unopened zippo lighters(wicks&flint) and a couple hand warmers put away. Those along with several fuel canisters make up the backbone of my smoking flame needs for when the bomb drops. Someday I will drop some $$ down on one of the more efficient survival lighters.
