Bronzy Carved Constantine Antique Style Lift Arm Petrol Kerosene Lighter

I absolutely love this lighter! I've gotten some very nice compliments on it, and it really does look nice. It feels great in the hand, has good spark, sparked right out of the box, and lights on the first try every time. I'm extremely happy I got this lighter.

Zorro quality always impresses me it is a very good lighter for the price

Excellent quality lighter!!! Nice heavy weight and smooth lighting. Gave it 5 seconds of Zippo fluid and it was ready to go with a first strike steady, consistent flame everytime. I am buying these for gifts.

I’ve had Zippo lighters on and off for years but haven’t owned one in quite awhile, so figured I get one from Amazon and not have to worry about buying another lighter again. That’s when I ran across this one. I really like the way that Zippos look after about 10 years, when they’re nice and worn, not too shiny, etc. This one looked like it already had that finish it was in that "sweet spot". The reviews on it we’re good, and the price was comparable, so I went with this one. I’ve never heard of "Kuboy" lights before, so I researched them a little, and none of their other lighters are anywhere near as cool as this one.I just gotta say, I LOVE this lighter. This is by far my favorite of any I've ever owned, and I've had a lot of them over the years (I've been smoking cigarettes for over 30 years, unfortunately). Just to echo some of the other reviews, the seal in the bottom of the lighter and around the wick really do add life to the fluid. I filled it for the first time over eight days ago, and it’s still going strong, and I smoke a little over a pack a day (so that’s 8 days with at least 25 ignitions a day, plus playing with it every once in awhile, with no signs of getting low on fuel so far). I wasn’t planning on leaving a review until it ran out of fluid, just to report how long it will really last, but I'll edit later after three fills then average them out to report to regular users what they can expect. I can say without question so far that it lasts longer than a Zippo using less fluid (the fluid reservoir is smaller in this one than a Zippo, but the closed design is extremely effective).I can’t really comprehend some of the complaints about this lighter, so I just chalk them up to a lack of experience using refillable Zippo-type lighters. Yes, if you overfill the lighter and fluid leaks around the chimney, you will have to burn it off. Anyone that has experience using Zippos knows that you just fill the lighter until the wick is saturated and drips to make sure it's as full as you can get it. Just put the guts back in the case and keep it lit for a few seconds, and it all burns off; no biggie. I’ve also had absolutely no trouble opening, lighting, or closing this later with one hand. The only thing that I did to this lighter to tweak it at all was to pull the wick out about an 1/8" so it’s near flush with the top of the chimney, but that's a matter of preference. It's good to go out of the box.Really, the only thing that I could possibly complain about would be the loss of satisfaction opening and closing a Zippo lid. I like the sound that it makes, and I like being able to snap the lid shut with a flick of the wrist. That’s not possible with this lightet, but to me, the styling and practicality far outweigh that one gripe.TL/DR: Beautiful lighter, great price, even better looking in person, fluid lasts much longer than Zippo, you won't regret it.

I've had it awhile now. it's on its second wick and third flint. still trucking along. carry it every day in my pocket. its not heavy, only have to put fluid it in every few days, not because its dry but because i don't let it dry out. seems fine in the wind, survived the beach winds in Florida last year.

So the worst part of a zippo is that the fuel evaporates to empty within a month of filling the zippo to full, even if you sit it on a shelf and don't use it.This Lighter aims to remedy that by adding well placed O-rings at any of the spots where the fluid would evaporate from.I can say boldly that this works very well. Filling it, using it very sparingly, and then checking it a month later showed very little fluid had left the lighter.In the fuel conservation end of the spectrum, it is vastly superior to a zippo (if you don't care about tricking it)HOWEVER, the O-ring around the wick, serves as kind of a choke, not letting fuel draw into it as quickly as a zippo would. This makes the wick burn and char much faster than a zippo's would.Not a huge deal, but essentially, you are trading wick life for fuel life.So it all comes down to that. This is great for setting on a shelf or throwing in a bag, and knowing it will have fuel left in it when you come back to it, but is going to mean changing the wick of the lighter much more often than you would a zippo.(EDIT: Almost forgot!!! The HINGE! A zippo usually only dies once it's hinge on the lid finally goes out!It was the thing I was most skeptical about when buying this. I gotta admit there isn't much input I can give... It doesn't seem inferior, but functions using a small spring which is very sketchy. I feel that only a long amount of time and testing will be able to show how it holds up.)
