The new soft flame inserts are fantastic.
Trust me, I'll never be a collector. This is the only one I'll need. I just really like the engineering, the mechanics, and the durability of these little gems.
Here is mine in the TSC lighter
How about a group buy? I'll buy a second lighter with the TSC logo engraved.
Just look at me! Enabling myself.

This is my small stash.
On the left, gloss finish. From my wife and early 1990’s. Can’t see the year code, so not sure if it was a stamping issue or what.
Number 2: 2004 Jack Daniels, during my drinking days.
Number 3: 2007 gloss finish with Dragon, imported from Japan. Given to me by our foreign exchange student. Zippo fluid started staining the metal. When trying to clean it up, the purple from the Dragon mostly came off. I need to polish off the rest, I guess.
Number 4: 2008 Matte finish, given to me by my stepson.
Number 5: 2022 Armor case brass with matte finish and pipe insert.
These came today. Flame on!
Well, I bit on a polished chrome TSC Zippo. Pictures when it arrives. 
You can see some of my phone in the lower left.
Paired with my favorite briar. The butane insert will go in this one, which will be my go-to lighter.
On the left is the brushed chrome "Vintage" M-22. Note its squared off lid corners, mimicking the 1930s art deco style it recalls.
