The Zippo lighters are one of the best lighters made today. They have a lifetime guarantee and are wind resistant. Since they do use lighter fluid, they will leave a slight taste, residue to your cigar or pipe, but not anything that's unbearable. They do sell torch inserts for Zippos that seem to work pretty well. We've carried them for a while and haven't had any complaints. The brand we carry is the Z-Plus. Zippo released they're own version of a torch-type lighter last year. Unfortunately they had problems with them not working consistently and there was no adjustment for the flame. We had several of them brought back for issues. We contacted Zippo and I believe that they recalled them all and have recently (like the past month or so) put them out again. We haven't gotten any in this time around and not sure if we will, but if I hear anything good, bad or otherwise, I'll let you guys know.
