Sega Zippos make me want to start smoking photo

I'm one of those guys that just looks odd smoking. I don't have the face for it or something. Likewise, I can't wear hats.  But I might take up smoking anyway to have an excuse to carry around these sweet Sega-themed Zippo lighters.

Sega whores will get excited over anything. These Genesis and Saturn lighters certainly do the trick for me. The Zippo is the perfect shape to be a little flame-making Genesis. The Saturn was too square for that, but I appreciate that they decided to cast in the best controller ever made, the Saturn controller. 

And a Sega whore you'd have to be to shell out the 10,500 ($114) for each lighter. Hey, I was whore enough to shell out $400 for the Saturn!

Fellow whores can order these from Net You starting November 6th.

Holy shit! These are really expensive lighters! I dig the Genesis design, but no way is it worth $114.

Rad! But quite price prohibitive.

Smoking is disgusting in every way possible. Those lighters are similarly AWESOME in every way possible. But you don't need to smoke to get a lighter, you can use them for Fourth of July, or just burning shit in general.

Smoking is a waste of money nowadays given all the taxes.

That said, I used to LOVE Zippos back in my High School days, and could do a ton of cool tricks with them.

Once again proving that anyone who says smoking doesn't make you look cool is just jealous it doesn't make them look cool.

Dale, I'm with you on the hat thing. Some people just weren't born to wear hats!

Oh my god those are amazing. I don't smoke either, but I'd bet they'd be awesome for picking up hot nicotine-addicted chicks at parties. And of course by that I mean showing off to my loser friends at my parents house.

You don't need to smoke to own a zippo. Good ol' fashioned pyromania is all you need.

when i was in Japan I saw a Lupin The Third Zippo that I wanted to get, until I saw the price (about the same as the Sega lighters). If I saw the Genesis Zippo, that would be a pretty tough decision.

Even if you don't smoke, you should still carry a lighter. So if you run into Bill O'reilly on the street, you can set him on fire.

The quality of the Saturn controller is vastly over-rated. The thing is uncomfortable as shit to hold.
