    I've never smoked, but sure could easily get into collecting some of the paraphernalia. Those are both really sexy lighters. I see cigarette cases that make me wish I did smoke.

    I don't smoke either, but I love the deco cigarette cases. I've been thinking about repurposing one into a wallet.

    I can't think of anyone I know who smokes, so couldn't even use a case to carry cigarettes to offer someone else. I've examined a number for potential alternative use; haven't found the right one yet.

    I have a sterling Zippo sitting here, bought for no good reason. I'm allergic to tobacco smoke!

    Hi,
    My best lighter was a 10KT solid gold Zippo. I had it until my first divorce. I had quit smoking the year before and hid the lighter and my sterling silver cigarette case under a loose floor board in the master bedroom. When I left I forgot about them. The ex wife sold the house and never knew about my stash. It was about five years later that I remembered about the stash. I was thinking about rapping at the door and asking if I could check out the bedroom floor.:eek::eek::eek::eek:
