Sweet! Got a S.T. Dupont also. In constant fear of losing it.
In case you are wondering, of this set, the Cricket is the “best” lighter. Mindlessly simple to use, replaceable, lightweight, and not precious. Bic lighters are the same way. I would recommend these without reservation.
The Zippo is great if you want something refillable and to make memories with. Or do tricks with…. The ST DuPont is the much fancier older brother to the Zippo. Yes, it does feel much more luxurious…though not 100x more luxurious. It will impress the guys at the cigar lounge though.
Most pointless lighter is the Douglass which is annoying to use with a safety that you slowly unroll, is hard to strike consistently due to a large moving mass, seems to dry out quickly, and gets hotter in the wrong places. It’ll look cool, but you won’t enjoy using it.
The coolest zippo trick is the one where you simply light your cigarette and then put the zippo back in your pocket.
