Pros: Very good build quality, very hard to notice if it's the real thing or just a fake.
Cons: I asked around and some of my friends who bought genuine Zippo straight from the states, said that it's fake, because of a little difference on the click sound. But I really don't know.
Other Thoughts: I found the manual and guarantee is written in Chinese.. In my opinion if it's made in USA, it should've been written in english
Bottomline: If this is the real thing, then the price is very cheap! Build quality is very good!

Pros: -it's similar to a real zipo, i think that IT'S a real zippo
-does the classic >clack< of zippo's lighter
-it's cool
Cons: -the box is not like than the box showed in picture
-the instructions, obviously, are in chinese
-it's without fuel (customs regulations)
Other Thoughts: sorry for my english but i'm italian...
Bottomline: if you want a zippo but you don't want expand a fortune it is a perfect deal!
it need a break-in period, the wick must be drunk, but after about two week it work perfectly!

Pros: - it is a genuine zippo - price is very nice...
- refillable by original zippo fluid...
- stainless steel pins - one of real zippo signs (some fakes have brass pins)...
- international unlimited guarantee card included in packaging...
- valuable and legendary...
Cons: - i do not know what to think - case is made in january 2009, but insert is from G 08, so maybe
both parts are genuine, but lighter is not completed correctly... i bought 3, but checked only one
piece...
- came to me in paper box, which is also nice, but in the pictures we can see a plastic box...
Other Thoughts: - i think it is real zippo...
- has the zippo click...
Bottomline: - very good gift idea... for smokers or owners of candles...
Good

Pros: Arrived in one week to UK, Includes all paper work, and after checking all tests im 99% sure it is genuine. Got the good zippo click.. Comes with the normal zippo case,over all very pleased with it.
Cons: Not really a con, but i now need to go and buy some fuel for it.
Other Thoughts: Cant wait to get fuel, tried a spot of meths and that works, so im thinking it will be good to fuel it up properly, and have a play, and learn some tricks.
Bottomline: Fits very well in the leather case i also ordered, a smart set up i now got, also with the spare flints, which fit in nicely and spark up well.
