Even for a smoker they're not a great gift imo. I had a zippo that I never used as it smelled and needed filling too often.

I see. What would have been a better fit in that case?

I agree with SaneMartigan in theory, but with gifts it's really about the thought I reckon. For practicality purposes those lighters are not great - Bic lighters are cheap and are flawless. You can't really improve on them too much. That said I'd appreciate a cool lighter as a gift anyway.
