Default How's the Old Boy in your pocket?

OK... I'm finally tired of burning my fingers with cheap disposable butane lighters... so I'm gonna get a decent permanent lighter.

I have it pretty much narrowed... down to either a Zippo pipe lighter or an Old Boy.

They both have pros and cons, but my biggest question is this: Does the Old Boy feel funky riding around in your pocket? It seems to have quite a few things poking out of the top of it, and I wondered how well it rides in your pocket. The charm of the eternal Zippo is its familiar smooth exterior.

So... Is that an Old Boy in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

The Old Boy is fine in your pants pocket. Maybe a little heavy for a shirt pocket. I have had mine for a year now and if anything ever happens to it I will get a new one immediately.

These are great lighters with an even better warranty.

Had mine for 12 years. Carried it in my pocket for most of those years--never had a problem. Great lighter. Can't recommend it enough, honestly.

Do you use premium fuel in yours, or is it pretty much bulletproof?

Agreed... anytime I see EvanS talking about the "Old Boy" in his pocket, I get very nervous.
