Zippo lighters are an American standard. While disposable lighters can get the job done in a pinch, there is no matching the sort of classic bad boy (or bad girl) cache of nonchalantly flipping open a Zippo. From a simple, sleek silver chrome lighter to the indulgence of a gem-encrusted 'Bling' lighter, there are hundreds of ways to reflect your unique style and outlook with a Zippo lighter.

The 'Pure' line is as simple and elegant as it gets. Zippo lighters from this line feature a solid color and a distinct finish. Many people choose to have their lighters engraved, or get a set engraved as a thank-you gift to groomsmen or co-workers for a special occasion.

Zippo has a long tradition of producing lighters that appeal to drivers of tough, high-end vehicles. The Harley Davidson collection includes a studded black matte lighter with the Harley Davidson logo on it, a street chrome silver lighter with a red, white, and blue American flag in the background, a variety of colored chrome satin lighters, and many other unique and striking options. If you drive a Cadillac, a Cadillac Zippo can give you many opportunities to talk about your favorite car.

Every year Zippo comes out with a new collection, as well as updating their standard lighters. Whether your focus is on urban style, military pride, or a pop culture tribute, there are lots of Zippo lighters to pick from. Some of them become extremely pricey collector's items, and Zippo collections can be a fun and rewarding alternative to more traditional options like stamps or coins.
