Responding to a growing need in the marketplace, Zippo introduced the pipe lighter in 1982, allowing users to choose their preferred Zippo flame for the very first time. Specifically engineered for the needs of pipe smokers, the pipe lighter insert is credited for kicking off Zippo’s long tradition of providing a distinct flame to suit virtually any preference. To celebrate 40 years of our first custom flame, this zippo.com Collectible features an Armor^® High Polish Chrome. The Collectible features a Double Lustre pipe insert design and a dazzling crystal affixed to the design’s strike wheel. Limited to 1,000 pieces, this example is number 718 and arrives in velour packaging.
