Quality Products

A descent lighter… Sometimes I wonder how long a lighter lasts. Smokers already polute the air, they polute the surroundings with ashes, etc. But in the end it’s just tobacco and paper. While lighters are often plastic and not so environmently friendly.

One quality product is the well-known Zippo ; a lighter that lasts for ever. Production started in 1932 and in the beginning their biggest client was the US-army. They tried several materials and shapes, but what remained in their offer is : a zippo is windproof and you can refill it at your local gasstation with gasoline (don’t try that at home).

Zippo is one of my favourite quality-products because it lasts!

While talking about lighters… those lighters you find at your local store, some of them are even dangerous and can explode in your hands. One descent throw-away lighter would be Bic. This company specialises in pens and markers, those pens leak and are basically no good. But the company came up with an entire new productline of … lighters. The big-lighters undergo 50 quality checks and consist out of high quality components, no shit. Those lighters are firm, you can even open a bottle of beer with the ‘foot’ of the lighter. Don’t try that with a local-store lighter.
