So here I am on vacation with.....no matches

[volfan]

I flew down to Tampa this morning and brought 3 sticks with me to try. Carlos Torano Casa Torano, RP Connecticut and Gurkha Doble Maduro. The sun is going down and nobody has any matches. Nobody. Oh well, I am going to Central Cigars tomorrow anyway so I should be able to get some matches (and smokes).

So my question is, has anyone used the torch insert for a zippo and if so what is it like? I can get a zippo otterbox if the insert works that way I always have something with me. I can not remember what that thing is called, only that it installs into a Zippo shell and uses butane.

TSA and no lighters !! That's the one thing I hated about traveling....luckily sometimes you can get on over on 'em is you pack it wisely......

The insert is the Blazer Torch Flame Lighter Insert. Here is a review that Doc wrote on it:

The only drawback I had was the clicker not working......here's a link to repair:

It's called a "Z-Plus" insert. I've got one and am content with it. The nice thing is that I can keep using the lighter my wife got me as a wedding present. It works fine so long as I have it turned up all the way and click it a couple times. The bad things are:

1. Doesn't light on the first (or usually even second) click.
2. Have to use the highest setting (careful of your eyebrows).
3. It's a PITA to get out of my Zippo sometimes.

All in all, I'm glad I have it. But I'm thinking of getting a regular butane lighter for home use.

I have three Z-plus inserts.
They are great!

I have found that if I pack my lighter in my toiletries bag the lighter does not get confiscated (to much stuff to confuse screeners). I always pack them empty as well and buy butane at the first B&M I stop in.

Only time I even had anyone look at it was in Vail last month but I told the security guy that it was empty, he tried it and put it back.
