Simple, Great Value, Pleasant Color..
Perfect EDC item for lighting a fire or a little illumination. Simple, long-lasting, always reliable and small in the pocket. Lacks the pleasant mechanical feel of a Zippo, but never leaks, evaporates, needs refilling or pops worn flints up into outer-space. It does lack much, if any windproofing and generally needs a cupped hand to shield the flame from anything stronger than a gentle breeze. Absolutely love the muted stone-hued Grey with slight brown/beige undertones, almost reminiscent of a muddy granite pebble on a dreary autumn morning. The perfect shade of boring for those of us that find colorful things too loud and flashy (and a black lighter just gets lost in the dark). Personally, I have enough junk in my pockets and would much rather carry the even smaller Mini BIC, since it fits perfectly in a watch pocket, but for some reason, BIC still hasn't made the single-color multi-pack of the Minis available yet. My only other complaint is that a 12-pack lasts me over 5 years, when just a single 6-pack would suffice - but of course, now that I finally need to re-stock, this enjoyably bland color is sold-out.
