Hey Guys,
I have noticed that alot of Pipe Makers give custom lighters with each of their pipes, could anyone point me to a source of where i could order custom lighters in bulk for a good price?
Thanks,
Zach Klein

I always gift my buyers with a S.T. Dupont lighter, with their first purchase. Thereafter, it's a Dunhill.

Re: Zippo Lighters
Pipe makers gift lighters with their pipes? That's news by me. Who are we talking about here?
About the most I've done is a pack of cleaners and a box of matches. With some regular customers, the ones that I speak to on a regular basis and have become very acquainted with, I've included some special gifts in the past (pocket knives, etc), but not for just anyone. And that's usually gifted because I want their input on it - "Would you mind if I sent you a pocket knife? It's a new design I'm working on and I'd love your input on it.".

What do you expect to hear? "Why yes, I would mind"?KurtHuhn wrote:"Would you mind if I sent you a pocket knife? It's a new design I'm working on and I'd love your input on it.".
I would never mind if somebody gave me a nice handcrafted knife. Except if it thrown at me. In that case I would mind.

Maybe i am just assuming that whenever i see pipes displayed next to custom zippos that they come with the pipe 
and sure id love to have one !KurtHuhn wrote:Dear Zach.... "Would you mind if I sent you a pocket knife? It's a new design I'm working on and I'd love your input on it.".

Ah! Not typically. Those are usually just there to provide scale so that the customer has an idea of the size of the pipe.prolax14 wrote:Maybe i am just assuming that whenever i see pipes displayed next to custom zippos that they come with the pipe
Sure! All you have to do is drop a kilobuck once or twice a year on my pipes and chances are good you might find one in a package.and sure id love to have one !KurtHuhn wrote:Dear Zach....

I'll be ordering a dozen pipes Bruce. I prefer silver finishes, no gold - Thanks.baweaverpipes wrote:I always gift my buyers with a S.T. Dupont lighter, with their first purchase. Thereafter, it's a Dunhill.
