Zippo bought out Ronson

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.

Yup, always watch my local WallyWorld. They never have them.

Last time I was in another neighboring one, I picked up two.

Great cheapos. I keep a multitude of lighters available for use, and there are a few Ronsons in the cup.

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