The matching pair would be a nice little head head-turner. But at a guess you'd be talking 3-5000 USD minimum. And so easy to lose...

Just had a flick through that catalogue. The cigarette cases range from about 2-3000 GBP or 4-6000 USD for silver, up to 35-50,000 GBP (70-100,000 USD) for a Catherine II enameled case. Vesta cases 1000 GBP upwards...

Absolutely beautiful objects though.

I don't know much about lighters, but was recently given my Nonno's old lighter when my Nonna found it in a box. I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it, and how to refill it through PM. It is pretty much this, it just has vertical lines and a metal push instead of plastic. Made by Ronson.

As a stylish accesoire my daily driver rates probably -100000 , the blazer torch .. However, it works all the time and in every weather, which counts for something. I'm still looking into getting a dunhill sports turbo with the croc leather.

As the smoking goes, to me I just adds to life. Like a good glass of wine or armagnac it just enhances the experience of being alive. I guess the biggest killer around is life itself, and why on earth should I dull my life down to make it last longer?

sarome is the ultimate elegance and modernism for me http://www.sarome.com/ but my favourites have to be good old vintage. especially ones that spent there time in places like the Praries. Something so satisfying lighting up with something that has a rough and long history as for what i own. a new-ish zippo has some modern "omg its lyk As1@n1111" art and a clipper crystal. cheap, plastic but refillable and replacable flint. saw some nice vintage lighters in a thrift store case so i'm gonna check it out more closely this friday

Found a Zippo lighter on a beach (Cottesloe) here in Perth, Australia. It must have been lost by a sailor as it has "USS KITTY HAWK CV63" on one side with a picture of the vessel. The other side has the First U.S. Navy Jack on it.

Labelking, have you ever been to the Alameda flea market and seen the guy selling just table lighters. Some beautiful ones there.

Bump - is a plain Zippo the most economical yet stylish way to go?
