Zippo, Victorinox, Omega watches, and Leatherman(10 years ago) has provided the best customer experiences I have ever had. Needless to say, I stick with them.
I used to work in a 'pawn shop' some dude brought in over 2000 military zippos his father collected over the years. It took a few days to sort through them, and get a price on it all. I spent 12 hours over those days on the phone with Zippo customer service after sending them photos of the collection. 30 days later (legal requirement) a Zippo representative came in and bought every single one. Apparently most of them are in some Zippo museum now.
Also a non smoker. I don’t carry mine, but every so often I flip it open and closed just to hear that click, the soundtrack of my youth when my dad smoked.

I contacted 1 point and they sent me a keychain with a penny on it and said the one penny never spent to repair a Zippo lighter.

That type of service is nearly extinct. Glad I stopped smoking, but having a zippo was definitely a cool little toy.

I don't and never have smoked, but I carry a zippo anyway.
