hi guys. i suddenly want to buy one lol.

googled around a bit, and one fella [ lost the weblinks 'cause i forgot to bookmark it ] sez that there are 4 types, namely A, B, C and D. anyone can explain what those are for? any difference in quality, or the nice sound it makes when you flick it open with any of those that got the A, B, C or D markings?

damn i like the Gudang Garam one as i can only inhale ori Gudang Garam 16's [ and Dji Sam su, both the thick - ended rolled ones and the Dji Sam Su Gold lol ]!

I believe the ABCD lettering you're referring to is the letter engraved at the bottom of the lighter. It's not the grade, but actually the month in which the lighter is manufactured.

It runs from A to L, A being January and L being December. You'll see it on the left side of the lighter's bottom. On the right side, there'll be two number, which is the last two digits of the year the lighter was made.

So if you see a Zippo with any alphabet after L, it's a fake.
