Operation Desert Shield Zippo

I hear with cigars and stuff zippos are really bad to use as they ruin the flavor. So im wondering...wouldnt zippo ruin the flavors for everything? cigarettes...pipes...etc etc.


Do not use for cigars, it ruins the taste. Cigarettes taste bad anyway, so go ahead. Pipes are also a no. They are excellent for lighting things and doing cool tricks. Plus they look cool. If you need to light something in the wind, get a torch butane lighter. Just make sure not to touch a cigar to it as it will scorch it. This will ruin the flavor and you might as well have used a zippo.
