Zippo bought out Ronson

Brian D. · 02-19-2010, 06:50 AM

Zippo makes really nice shells to slide my Z-Plus butane inserts into!

Just kidding, other than the Zippo Blu torch having some quirks, they are a great company. Ronson was too, back in the day.

I like Ronson just like they are and will be making a run this weekend for all they have in stock at my Walmart. Nothing good ever comes from these takeover deals.

I've checked Walmart, Walgreens & CVS in my area, with no luck. I too would like to get one or two Ronsons to see what the chatter is all about. I'll keep searching.

Chris, send me an addy, I have a few extras I will send you.

Last count I have 6 or 8 still in their package and at least a dozen laying around the house.

Never thrown one out yet

I get mine at wally world and they are 3 bucks and some change.

When they have them I grab a few and throw them in the drawer.

Ideally, Zippo will keep Ronson as a reliable, budget line. Rebrand, fine; but please leave the design as is.

Love the zippo feel and sounds. I like the z-blaze inserts but mine seems to have issues and I need to pick up another. Maybe next payday or so.
