My white balance is all off on my camera for some reason, and so I had to do my best in Lightroom. Still, though... some pics of my new baby :D

I just treated myself to the lighter below. It's a vintage Dunhill Unique Lighter. The "hobnail" finish is no longer available. The seller had it overhauled and refurbed by Dunhill in Feb of this year. It's absolutely pristine!

That thing is absolutely beautiful

Thank you!:D

I know I shouldn't smoke (cigars), but if I'm going to do something stupid, I'm going to do it with beautiful accoutrement.

I love a cigar. Last one I had though made me take up smoking again after 7 months off cigarettes. My fried had just had his second child. Better just stick with the coffee!

Smart move!!

The whole smoking thing is stupid, smelly, and has the strong potential to kill you. I'm not proud of my stupidity, but the lighter is a gem...even if it's purpose is nasty!

Went back to my roots and got some Moon Pies direct from the bakery in Tennessee. Smaller than they used to be but still the original !!

I tried to give up smoking many times. I only sucsseded when I through away all my lighters (including) some really nice zippos) and mentally pictured myself as a non smoker. That was 18 years ago now. My only vice now is beer!

We won't argue the trade you made (I'm sure your use is in moderation ;)), your post brings to mind Mark Twain's line ..."Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world...I've done it a thousand times":D

True, true. I used to be a 40 a day man at one point. Now I hate the smell. However giving up alcohol is a different matter all together. At least we can both agree a coffee is a food way to get through the morning!

I smoke too, so no judgement coming from me ;)

I know what you're saying, i can't stand using standard BIC lighters. I'm a major Zippo fan, but i appreciate the design and look of lighters such as yours

Zippos are American classics!

I went to the Zippo site...there are about 8 million models It's cool!:cool:

Having an exposed flame, unlike the Zippos which have a wind guard, make lighting cigars easier. Also, I love the retro look of the Dunhill. Zippo, as old as the company is, has no retro look because it's never changed the iconic look.
